Kindness

In a competitive society, kindness can sometimes be viewed as a weak quality. But, kindness is a powerful force which underpins everything we do and everything we are. It is what bonds our relationships, gives our lives meaning and builds our self-esteem. It turns out that kindness may also help us live longer, healthier lives.

In his latest book ‘The 5 Side Effects of Kindness’, Dr David R. Hamilton outlines the many and varied benefits of this natural human phenomenon. Hamilton looks at studies that have shown that individuals who act with compassion and kindness over an extended period of time, experience an increase in positive emotions such as joy, gratitude, hope and contentment, as well as an increase in their levels of happiness and self-esteem.
