by Piero Ferrucci

The Power of Kindness is an engrossing look at a simple yet deep notion. One of the world's most respected transpersonal psychologists, Piero Ferrucci, explores the many surprising facets of kindness, arguing that it is this trait that will not only lead to our own individual happiness and the happiness of those around us, but will also guide us in a world that has become cold, anxious, difficult, and frightening. Piero Ferrucci cautions about "global cooling's" risks. Communications become rushed and impersonal as the pace of life quickens and the impact of new technologies becomes more pervasive. The desire for profit takes precedence over the heart. Warmth and true presence diminish as time passes.

Dr. Ferrucci explains why the kindest individuals are the most likely to thrive, to help others to succeed, and to gently but steadily transform our world away from violence, self-centeredness, and narcissism—and toward love—in eighteen interconnected chapters. Dr. Ferrucci demonstrates, with a rare combination of compassion and intellectual depth, that kindness is not a luxury in our environment, but rather a requirement for all of us.
