“This might be the most beautiful book I’ve ever read. It’s lifted my soul and brought me to tears in all the right ways.”—Jane Green, author of 18 New York Times bestsellers
Named best inspirational book of the year by the Independent Book Publishers Association and chosen as an International Book Awards winner, HumanKind is the heartwarming, feel-good book we all need right now. These inspiring stories will open your heart and rekindle your faith in humanity.
Brad Aronson’s life changed in an instant when his wife, Mia, was diagnosed with leukemia. After her diagnosis, Brad spent most of the next two and a half years either by her side as she received treatment or trying to shield their five-year-old son, Jack, from the worst of Mia’s illness. Amid the stress and despair of waiting for the treatment to work, Brad and Mia were met by an outpouring of kindness from friends, family and even complete strangers.
Inspired by the many demonstrations of “humankindness” that supported their family through Mia’s recovery, Brad began writing about the people who rescued his family from that dark time, often with the smallest of gestures. But he didn’t stop there. Knowing that simple acts of kindness transform lives across the globe every day, he sought out these inspirational stories and shares the most heartwarming ones here.
In HumanKind you’ll meet a mentor who changed a child’s life with a single lesson in shoe tying; an inspiring six-year-old who launched a global kindness movement; a band of seamstress grandmothers who descend on Philadelphia every week to patch clothes — and, in the process, mend hearts— for homeless people; and many other heroes.
Brad also provides dozens of ways you can make a difference in others’ lives through the simplest words and deeds. From a $200 donation that can cure someone’s blindness to letters of encouragement you can send to nonprofits that deliver mail to hospitalized kids, lonely seniors and others in need, you’ll be amazed how far a little kindness goes.
