    "We were not born for the purpose of causing trouble and harming others. For our life to be of value, as Piero Ferrucci amply demonstrates here-and I am grateful to him for expressing it so clearly-we need to foster and nurture such basic good human qualities as warmth, kindness, and compassion. If we can do that, our lives will become more meaningful, happier, and more peaceful; we will make a positive contribution to the world around us."

    The Power of Kindness is a stirring examination of a simple but profound concept. Piero Ferrucci, one of the world's most respected transpersonal psychologists, explores the many surprising facets of kindness and argues that it is this trait that will not only lead to our own individual happiness and the happiness of those around us, but will guide us in a world that has become cold, anxious, difficult, and frightening. In eighteen interlocking chapters, each devoted to a single aspect of kindness, Ferrucci reveals that the kindest people are the most likely to thrive, to enable others to thrive, and to slowly but steadily turn our world away from violence, self-centeredness, and narcissism-and toward love.
