The Kindness Handbook

The Kindness Handbook

Sometimes kindness seems to be the hardest to give precisely when it’s needed most. In The Kindness Handbook, bestselling author and renowned teacher of intensive awareness practice (“insight” meditation) Sharon Salzberg examines the mystery of our reluctance, the profound practice of lovingkindness and compassion and more. She encourages and inspires us to cultivate generosity of the spirit for any person or in any life situation that confronts and challenges us. Sharon teaches us that, just as cruelty can ravage lives and trample hope, kindness can be the quality we choose to steer our lives. Whether we’re deciding what to do when a plane is hours late; a friend is unhappy and needs a little of our time and understanding and we don’t want to give it; when someone criticizes us; or we just can’t seem to communicate with our partner anymore; her wise and gentle guidebook will help us respond to another—or even ourselves—with lovingkindness. It’s a deeply profound spiritual practice that can change our world. The Kindness Handbook is a soul-stirring guide for anyone wondering how to cultivate an open heart, empathy and inner peace—every day.
