Book Review - May - the power of kindness

This month I have chosen the book, the power of kindness, The Unexpected Benefits of Leading a Compassionate Life, by Piero Ferrucci.  It was published by the Penguin Group in 2006.

This book was lent to me by a friend, so thank you.

The preface to the book was written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in which he accurately writes that the fundamental human values need to be on the importance of kindness.  His Holiness says that with kindness as our starting point so many other positive qualities flow.  Qualities like honesty, forgiveness, patience and generosity.

The book is divided into chapters in which Piero writes about a different human quality.  The reminder of the importance of each quality is always welcome and the book is easy and enjoyable to read.

If you have a chance please read this book and let me know what you think.

Namaste.
