The Power of Kindness:
The Unexpected Benefits of Leading a Compassionate Life

by Piero Ferrucci
This is a wonderful, refreshing read.  We can never know or learn too much about compassion and kindness.  Most of us think of kindness as something that we give to others, when actually kindness is two-fold and we are the beneficiaries too.  When we extend kindness out, it boomerangs back.
