Give Kindness A Chance

Available for over a year

We all know that it鈥檚 good to be kind; but what good can kindness do for us? In Give Kindness A Chance, Matt sets out to find inspiring people whose lives have been changed by the domino effect of kindness, and uncover whether there鈥檚 any scientific proof of what living compassionately can do for all of us. Inspired by his dad鈥檚 legacy of good deeds, Cardiff鈥檚 Matt Callanan started his kindness project, 鈥榃e Make Good Happen鈥 when he and his wife Andrea had their son. He embarked on a campaign of random acts of kindness which went viral and landed him on TV, radio and in the Sunday Times鈥 Alternative Rich List. Joanna Suvarna鈥檚 Be The Ripple campaign for kinder workplaces attracted a genuine pop star; The Kindness Diaries鈥 Leon Logothetis circumnavigated the globe relying on the generosity of strangers and Jaime Thurston founded 52 Lives, a charity that aims to change someone鈥檚 life every single week. They share the joys, challenges and lessons they鈥檝e learned by harnessing the power of kindness. And world-renowned professor of neurosurgery, James R Doty unpacks the surprising benefits that being compassionate can offer for our physical and mental health.
