When a woman is hit by a car and knocked unconscious, passer-by Libby feels a sense of responsibility towards her. She was the one who called the ambulance, after all. When the woman comes round, she's suffered complete temporary memory loss, and can't remember who she is, where she's come from or why she's in Longhampton. Libby feels sorry for the scared woman, who doesn't seem to have any worried friends or family coming to claim her, and offers to put her up for a few days at the rundown B & B she and her husband Jason are trying to convert into a chic romantic hideaway. But as the women's friendship blossoms, Pippa, as they're calling her, starts to get the feeling she was looking for someone.

Being kind when we don’t feel like it, or when all of our buttons are being pushed, is hard. But that’s also when it’s most needed; that’s when it can defuse anger and even violence, when it can restore civility in our personal and virtual interactions. Kindness has the power to profoundly change our relationships with other people and with ourselves. It can, in fact, change the world. In A Year of Living Kindly—using stories, observation, humor, and summaries of expert research—Donna Cameron shares her experience committing to 365 days of practicing kindness. She presents compelling research into the myriad benefits of kindness, including health, wealth, longevity, improved relationships, and personal and business success. She explores what a kind life entails, and what gets in the way of it. And she provides practical and experiential suggestions for how each of us can strengthen our kindness muscle so choosing a life of kindness becomes ever easier and more natural. An inspiring, practical guide that can help any reader make a commitment to kindness, A Year of Living Kindly shines a light on how we can create a better, safer, and more just world—and how you can be part of that transformation.
