Book Nook: Go Be Kind - 28 1/2 Adventures Guaranteed to Make You Happier

I recently had a chance to review Go Be Kind: 28 ½ Adventures Guaranteed To Make You Happier, the fifth book from best-selling author Leon Logothetis. He's also available on Netflix and known as "The Kindness Guy" for his Kindness Diaries series.

He works to teach that kindness is cool, and this book is one more example of that. It's a guided journey with kindness adventures, some of which are easy, others of which take a little more thought and time. All of them encourage the reader to get out and do something that will improve the world for others - and also to improve their own mood and outlook at the same time.

Adventures include:
  • Identify the kindness person in your life - give them a call today to say THANK YOU
  • Kindness starts from within - write down what you love about yourself and what kindness means to you
  • Compliment someone on who they are, not what they are wearing like “I love your laugh” or “you just put a smile on my face” - the smallest gesture of kindness can have a massive impact
  • Cell phone roulette - go be brave, connect, scroll down your contacts and stop at random, give that person a call or text
Leon left a very successful job as a broker in London after feeling depressed and uninspired to travel the world on nothing but kindness and $5 a day. Through Leon’s travels he captures a movement of compassion, unearthing people and qualities that most believe are dead in today’s world. As a global adventurer having traveled to over 100 countries, Leon showcases that kindness is thriving despite the negative world view amplified by the news.
