Review: I have reread this book 3 times, and each time I find that the stories make a difference in my day. I am beginning to use it as a daily reminder that my actions and kindness waterfall to anyone I encounter, whether it be in person, on the telephone, or even in my e-mails.I am so very grateful that Margot Silk Forrest realized that our world is in desperate need of kindness. Her book is perfectly written, contains wonderful stories, and I hope she writes Volume 2!! Get this book...and keep several copies handy to share with others!!! Let's ALL help her change the world!!!!

Summary: A short but powerful course in kindness
Review: If you desire to have a kinder, gentler, more compassionate soul when dealing with others or when dealing with life itself then this book provides a roadmap to get there. "A Short Course in Kindness" points out the difference between just being nice, which many people are at times, and being truly kind. Kindness is a way of life, a way of being. The author points out techniques to learn to be kind by empathizing with others and as well as techniques to learn how to be kind to yourself (an aspect of kindness that many people overlook). Not just content to explore kindness, she also explores the enemies of kindness and how to keep them at bay. If you want to change yourself and change your world you can't go wrong with this book. "A Short Course in Kindness" is a recommended read.

Summary: Fierce Kindness
Review: Kindness is not wimpy, not "nice", not for the faint of heart. In this little gem of a book Ms. Forrest shows us time after time that kindness takes courage, strength and ultimately the decision in the moment to reach out to those around us, one by one. "We can save the world, because we are the world," the author tells us. There have been a few titles in my lifetime that I have given to the people in my life who are closest to me. "A Short Course in Kindness" has joined that list. Buy this, read it, and then live it in your day to day life - you won't be sorry.

Summary: Antidote for a weary world...
Review: What the world needs now...is a short course in kindness. I loved this book. The stories made me both laugh and cry in recognition. I felt changed somehow, softer and kinder. But mostly, this short course in kindness reminded me that the heart is indeed a muscle that feels a lot better when stretched.
