In response to the uptick in bullying behavior, psychologist Cousineau (founder, BodiMojo) proposes the renewal of a commitment to kindness. To this end, the author offers narratives that accompany the four steps of principle, scientific basis, exercise, and reflection, all of which are geared toward developing an affectionate spirit. The steps include learning how gentleness can be seen in everyday life, how mindfulness and intention create empathy, and how emotional upset can be released through compassion. The text is incredibly readable, with drawings and bullet points that send the points home.
Copyright 2017 Library Journal.VERDICT An exceptional read for anyone who dismays of mean-spiritedness and who wants to make a difference.
