I’ve picked up “The Power of Kindness – The Unexpected Benefits of Leading a Compassionate Life” by, Piero Ferrucci once again. The Storyteller bought me this book a while ago because she knew how much I enjoyed “How to Expand Love: Widening the Circle of Loving Relationships” by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Although I thoroughly enjoyed that book, The Power of Kindness has pulled me back for a second read because it is so powerful!
If you’re apprehensive about reading something in the Buddhist way of thinking, then this book is the perfect book to dip your toe in the water. Mr. Ferrucci doesn’t dive into the afterlife or higher powers or anything of the sort. He simply walks you through 18 chapters of learning/living the aspects of kindness. It aught to be required reading for every man, woman and child.
If you only read one new book this year, I can’t recommend this one enough! Read. Enjoy.
My own world view would replace the word kindness with the word love – kindness has less contextual baggage to unpack, but the point is the same.
