In <i>The Kindness Cure</i>, psychologist Tara Cousineau draws on cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience to show how simple practices of kindness--for ourselves, for others, and for our world--can dissolve our feelings of fear and indifference, and open us up to a life of profound happiness.</b></p><p>Compassion for ourselves and others is our birthright as humans--hardwired into our DNA and essential to our happiness. But in our fast-paced, technical savvy and hyper competitive world, it may come as no surprise that rates of narcissism have risen, while empathy levels have declined. We now find ourselves in a "cool to be cruel" culture where it's easy to feel disillusioned and dejected in our hearts, homes, and communities. So, how can we reverse this malady of meanness and make kindness and compassion an imperative?</p><p><i>The Kindness Cure</i> draws on the latest social and scientific research to reveal how the seemingly "soft skills" of kindness, cooperation, and generosity are fundamental to our survival as a species. In fact, it's our prosocial abilities that put us at the head of the line. Blended with moving case studies and clinical anecdotes, Cousineau offers practical ways to rekindle kindness from the inside out.</p><p>We are wired to care. The very existence of our human species evolved because of an intricate physiology built for empathy, compassion, and cooperation. Yet we have an epidemic of loneliness, indifference, and cruelty, and we see these destructive trends on a daily basis in our families, schools, neighborhoods, and workplaces. This important book teaches effective skills in compassion, mindfulness, and social and emotional learning, and reveals successful social policy initiatives in empathy taking place that inform everything from family life to education to the workplace.</p><p>Kindness has the exponential power to renew relationships and transform how we think, feel, and behave in the world. Will you be a part of the revolution?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A lovely book, replete with simple kindness and full of reminders of how to enjoy and embody a kindful life." <br> --<b>Jack Kornfield</b>, author of <i>The Wise Heart</i>--Jack Kornfield<br><br>"For many years, Tara Cousineau has shared her message about the power of kindness and compassion to lift others out of the distress and despair of everyday living: from daily hassles to wrestling with inner feelings of low self-worth, and sense of disconnection. Putting her message into a book about our innate ability to care and be kind, and how to nurture this capacity, is timely and much needed. I, for one, would welcome it as a resource for clients and colleagues." <br> --<b>Nancy Etcoff, PhD</b>, author of <i>Survival of the Prettiest</i>, and assistant clinical professor and psychologist at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Psychiatry--Nancy Etcoff, PhD<br><br>"Grounded in solid research, this book is heartfelt, funny, and so helpful, with tons of practical suggestions and effective tools.

Pollak</b>, coauthor of <i>Sitting Together</i>, and president of The Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy--Susan M. Pollak<br><br>"Kindness truly connects people across their differences, and is the key ingredient in social change which this book beautifully demonstrates.

This important book contains up-to-date, scientifically-based information and effective strategies for incorporating or reintroducing kindness into our lives, with enough personal and patient anecdotes to keep the reader interested and motivated. Even though I have been a therapist for thirty years and thought I knew a bit about kindness, reading this book truly challenged me to create more ways to incorporate more into my life, with my patients, my family and friends, and myself." <br> --<b>Alice Domar, PhD</b>, coauthor of <i>Live a Little!</i> (with Susan Love, MD), <i>Be Happy Without Being Perfect</i>, and <i>Self-Nurture</i>--Alice Domar, PhD<br><br>"This is a wonderful book that focuses on kindness, bringing in work from a variety of different disciplines.

No matter how much we achieve or acquire, we come up empty, lonely, bereft. In short, we are in need of a cure.
