HumanKind: Changing the World One Small Act At a Time Paperback – 28 May 2020

Watching the news usually makes me wonder if the world is running amok with monsters disguised as humans. It shows such an extreme side to humanity, all of it focused on greed, hate, corruption, and violence that it can leave you feeling depressed and unhappy which is why we need books like HumanKind. This book is like a little power pill that can restore our faith in humanity in a BIG way!Brad Aronson wrote this book in the wake of his beloved wife’s struggle with Leukaemia, which I find amazing. The Aronson family during their fight for Mia Aronson’s health found themselves surrounded by a lot of love and support from their friends and family who rallied around them and were eager to help in whatever capacity seemed best to Brad and Mia. This unflinching support in such a trying time showed Brad just how generous people can be when they’re moved by someone’s distress, and it pushed him to research and find other stories that are testaments to an individual's capacity and willingness to help others.That’s how this wonderful book came to be, and brought with it such incredible hope into the lives of its readers. It’s an easy read and any time you feel disillusioned by your fellow human beings, flip to any chapter and give yourself a little boost. This book will be especially useful for people who struggle with the idea of not being able to do enough when it comes to helping others. HumanKind reminds us that no act of kindness is too small, and usually, even the smallest act of generosity can have a massive ripple effect. We simply have to focus on doing our part, no matter how small.I love, love this book! It filled me with such hope, warmth, and love; it also made me cry, but they were mostly happy, cleansing tears. The proceeds from this book to Big Brothers Big Sisters charitable organisation, another wonderful reason for its purchase.I hope that everyone in the world reads this book and realise just how much can be done with small, little resources, and what a world it would be where every single one of us is doing its part in making the world a little happier and more inclusive for our fellow human beings.

Libro lleno de pequeños gestos de personas humildes, pero que significan cambios gigantes en las vidas de los demás.Necesario para seguir pensando que el mundo es maravilloso y que hay gente que merece seguir creyendo en una humanidad mejor.

First, I saw that even a very small act of kindness or charity can have a great effect on both parts. So now I am more motivated to dedicate time to small actions.Also, I saw that the range of possible types of charity actions is much wider than I thought. So the book was illuminating to understand what matters for common humanity.

When I'm told I should read something to make me feel better or uplift my spirit, I usually run away–my cynical mind rebelling. I could not be happier that I didn't let that happen with HumanKind. It's one of those books that not only delivers a truly positive message on an accessible scale but is also engaging and entertaining as a read. I suggest that you put this on your holiday to-buy list for everyone you know who has begun to fear that the world is as dark as the news would have us believe... and for anyone else who could use a smile.
