Publisher Description
‘This book should be the thought for the day every single day.’
Dr Julie Smith, Sunday Times bestselling author
Far from being fluffy sentiments, acts of kindness – whether given, received, or witnessed – are potent elixirs that have a profound and lasting impact on our mental and physical health.
From boosting happiness to soothing the soul, kindness isn’t just a feel-good notion – it’s a powerhouse. It relaxes your nerves, lowers blood pressure, reduces inflammation, and even slows down ageing at the genetic level.
This audiobook serves as a beacon of light, urging you to spread kindness like wildfire. Because in a world where apathy reigns, giving a f*ck is revolutionary. And when we do, we not only enrich ourselves but bring joy into our communities and the wider world.

"A brilliant reflection on how every one of us has the capacity to improve our lives, by taking the responsibility to work on ourselves with all the challenges life brings with it, to be strong and kind with ourselves and the ones around us. David’s ability to line out what we all know in our hearts to be true is second to none: That real trust and respect, supported by small genuine acts, make a huge difference in our personal and professional lives, with one caveat–you really have to mean it. A must-read for any leader who has the courage and strength to embark on a journey to create a competitive business with all the difficult choices that come with it, but is always committed to do it with genuine kindness and respect for their people."
— Claudio Gienal, senior insurance executive and board member, AXA Europe

David explains beautifully, in his calming and clear way, how everything I fully believe to be true actually is. He has a way of putting facts into fiction and science into soul food. I use his workings daily to bring backbone and clarification to my own inner musings and beliefs. This book is another must-read if self-growth is your bag.

I love David’s work, particularly his ongoing campaign to centre kindness as a core societal value, and to elevate its practice to that of a daily tool which has the potential to radically transform the health of our communities. This book teaches that while the effort to drop our defensive postures and choose to be kind is not always easy or straightforward, it doesn’t need to be grand or awe-inspiring to have a great impact. David reminds us that the power of caring lies in its humility and simplicity, which each and every one of us can harness to enjoy the good days and get through the tough ones together.
