Synopsis:

Scientific evidence has proven that kindness changes the brain, impacts the heart and immune system, and may even be an antidote to depression.

We're actually genetically wired to be kind. In this book, inspirational ex-scientist David Hamilton shows that the effects of kindness are felt daily throughout our nervous systems. When we're kind, our bodies are healthiest.

In his down-to-earth and accessible style, David shares how:

• Kindness makes us happier

• Kindness improves relationships

• Kindness is good for the heart

• Kindness slows ageing

• Kindness is contagious

This unique book fuses scientific research around being kind with inspirational real life examples of kindness from ordinary people. Reading these stories will nourish your soul and leave you with renewed optimism for the future, and this book will help you see the many ways in which giving your time, energy and love to another could transform your health – and your whole world.
