"These heartwarming, true stories of people doing good in the world will inspire you and rekindle your faith in humankind.

When Brad Aronson's wife Mia got sick with leukemia, they were overwhelmed by the outpouring of kindness from friends, family members, and complete strangers. Inspired by the many demonstrations of ""humankindness"" that supported their family through Mia's recovery, Brad began seeking out and writing the stories of individuals and organisations whose acts of kindness transform lives every day. The stories in HumanKind are about ordinary people making an extraordinary impact. You'll meet the group of grandmothers who mend clothes for homeless people; the woman who created a movement that has provided more than 500,000 meals for the hungry; the construction worker whose kindness saved a homeless man during a chance encounter. As well as these life-enriching stories of generosity and good will, the book lists many organisations who can channel and amplify your own acts of kindness.

In HumanKind you will:

Learn how donating even a small amount can have an outsized impact like helping to cure an individual's blindness Find out how you can make a difference with your words by writing letters of encouragement to hospitalised kids, foster youths, and others who will cherish your support Discover many more opportunities to provide help to those in need, from disadvantaged young people to veterans

A perfect feel-good gift book, HumanKind will leave you feeling grateful and inspired, and provide resources for you to create positive change in your own community and around the world."

Brad Aronson is a husband and a dad, and when he's holding the parenting reins, he likes to go all out. For him that means leading an egg drop competition from the third-floor window of his family's home or heading up indoor games of baseball and hockey, and then having to explain why something else is now in pieces. Luckily, his wife, Mia, is understanding. Brad loves teaching entrepreneurship to youth in Camden, N.J., and volunteering on the nonprofit boards of Big Brothers Big Sisters and Hopeworks. One day, Brad hopes to be famous for co-founding a national holiday that features a seven-foot-tall orange tree and more than fifty stuffed monkeys (see chapter nine in HumanKind). In the meantime, he works with tech startups and writes books.
