Someone who exudes kindness, integrity, and honor. The type of person who knows what to say when a friend's loved one passes away or how to react with empathy and grace when someone at work is being a total schmuck. The kind of person your bubbie or grandma would be proud of. </p><p>Getting into the mensch mindset takes practice. But simple shifts in your approach to everyday interactions can help you find your inner mensch, revitalizing and strengthening your personal and professional relationships and the values you pass on to your family.</p><p>A collection of humorous stories and practical advice-sprinkled with a healthy dose of Yiddish humor-<em>Be a Mensch</em> shows how to incorporate kindness into your daily life and help others through difficult situations. It challenges you to get off your tuches and get involved, not only to help others but to improve your own life too.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>In <em>Be a Mensch: Unleash Your Power to Be Kind and Help Others</em>, author Elisa Udaskin weaves a passion for kindness with her Jewish heritage, sharing whimsical tales to uplift and inspire.

Told through the lens of real-life situations drawing on the familial beliefs and often humorous moments of Jewish experiences, it provides life lessons on the power of kindness. This book is uplifting and the message is clear: it doesn't matter who you are, where you grew up, what your religion is, or what your status is, being kind to others unleashes the power in all of us. Kindness is a choice and the magic ingredient that elevates us to love more, do more, care more, and achieve more as humans.</p><p>-Dino Bianco, CEO, Kruger Products</p><p><br></p><p>Too often, as we get caught up in the chaos of our own lives - whether personal or professional - and particularly, now as we manage through the pandemic, we forget about the basics of humanity. Through Yiddish, an oft-forgotten language that captures the essence of an emotion or a moment like no other, poignant personal stories and practical advice, Elisa Udaskin reminds us of what matters most in any situation: being kind to others.</p><p>--Lisa Kimmel, Chair & CEO, Edelman Canada; Chair, Latin America and Global Women's Equality Network</p><p><br></p><p>Written in conversational tone, and full of stories meant to inspire the reader, this is a laid-back, down-to-earth look at our society and how we can improve it one small act at at time. The author is great about incorporating her real-life experiences, both positive and negative, and allowing us to learn from her mistakes. She makes suggestions that are actually attainable, and reaches out to followers and nonfollowers alike.</p><p>--NetGalley Reviewer</p><br>
