Deep Kindness: A Revolutionary Guide for the Way We Think, Talk,

Amazon got this book to me quickly and I totally appreciate the service from order to receipt! Excited to read it!

Houston's message will change the way we move forward in kindness! I was blessed to have met the remarkable author at a national teacher's conference and his message was very clear. My hour in his session was one that stays with me and I hold dear in my heart. Houston has an infectious smile and strong conviction that we must think, act and talk in kindness. He not only talks the talk, but walks the walk in all that he does. His programs, website, updates, webinars and everything he does support his message. We need people and books like this now more than ever. Buy this book for every teacher, parent and important person in your life and see the goodness that can spread across the land if only we hold kindness in our hearts each day.

“To care is to choose to dream of a better world and actually do something to create it” - Houston KraftI honestly believe that this book can tip the scales in a better direction. It is not your typical "feel good", "light-hearted" book about niceness hidden behind the word kind.This book is vulnerable, raw, honest, and challenges you to really look at what it takes to be kind. Deeply kind. The kind of kind that is sacrificial and doesn't always "feel good". The kind of kind that asks us first to take a hard look at ourselves. The kind of kindness that the world needs.

This book arrives into the world in a time when it could not be needed more. With the fear, anxiety, uncertainty and overt division of our country and our planet, Deep Kindness is a necessary re-examination of the way our world views, values and acts - or fails to act- in kindness. With thoughtful reflection questions and tangible actions at the end of each chapter, this is a book that not only redefines what it means to TRULY be "kind", but provides real action items to put these concepts into practice. This is a book I will refer back to often and hope that every friend, family member, parent and human in my life will read alongside me.

I wanted this book to help me find ways to show kindness to other people and help out the world because I'm struggling right now with the cruelty I see around me. But this book was all about how HARD it is to really be kind, and all the obsticles there are to being kind and how people rarely do it. The author was very upfront about how he is unable to be kind in his own life. It the end it was REALLY depressing to read it. He even had a whole chapter on how badly we are likely to be treated if we are kind and how we will be ridiculed for being kind. Nothing yet about any benefit to being kind and I gave up on the book. I really wanted to like it, but can't.
