Overview

These heartwarming, true stories of people doing good in the world will inspire you and rekindle your faith in humankind.

When Brad Aronson's wife Mia got sick with leukemia, their friends, family members and complete strangers lifted them up during that dark time, often with the smallest of gestures. It was during Mia's treatment and recovery that Brad came to realize how life-changing a simple act of kindness can be.

HumanKind is a celebration of those moments, in which even a small act of goodwill can make a big difference. In its pages you'll meet the third-grade teacher who changed a boy's life with a lesson in shoe-tying. The band of seamstress grandmothers who patch clothes--and, in the process, mend hearts--for homeless people. The woman whose decision to make an extra meal to feed someone in need led to a movement that's provided more than 500,000 meals. And so many more everyday heroes--ordinary people who have had an extraordinary impact.

HumanKind also provides easy ways for you to amplify your own kindness. You'll learn where small donations have an outsized impact--like curing someone's blindness. You'll find a dozen ideas that people going through difficult times suggest as the best ways to help them. You'll discover nonprofits that will forward your letters of encouragement to hospitalized kids, recently diagnosed cancer patients and others who will cherish your support.

A much-needed reminder of our own good fortune and the amazing world in which we live, HumanKind is filled with true, heartwarming stories that will lift your spirit and leave you feeling inspired to create positive change in your own community.
