Claves de la Amabilidad, Las - by Claudia Hammond (Paperback)

About the Book

Kindness can be your great superpower. By being kind to others, we are overcome with a sense of indescribable satisfaction, comparable only to that which comes from others being kind to us. Improving the world, no matter how small our contribution, makes us feel good and helps society to live together. Did you know that the nicest bosses are more successful in business? Or that being generous can help us achieve our goals and build a fulfilling life? Kindness strengthens relationships. Acts of kindness, whether our own initiative or that of others, improve our physical and mental health. Based on the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, as well as her work in collaboration with the University of Sussex and the BBC, Claudia Hammond shares in this book a series of keys to make kindness very present in our lives through different attitudes and habits adaptable to our own circumstances. She also explains how to put this quality at our service and how we can benefit, thanks to this, the rest of humanity. The time has come to start the kindness revolution.
