Summary
Despite what you might have been told, we're not inherently selfish. The truth is we're inherently kind. Scientific evidence has proven that kindness changes the brain, impacts the heart and immune system, is an antidote to depression, and even slows the aging process. We're actually genetically wired to be kind.
In The Five Side Effects of Kindness, David Hamilton shows that the effects of kindness are felt daily throughout our nervous system. When we're kind we feel happier, and our bodies are healthiest. In his down-to-earth and accessible style, David shares how:
- Kindness makes us happier
- Kindness is good for the heart
- Kindness slows aging
- Kindness improves relationships
- Kindness is contagious

It’s made me be a better person and feel happier
I bought this book on a whim and I love the concept and it really was great. Since reading it I’ve tried in my every day life to do little to even bigger kind things that take me out of my comfort zone too. Today I got mentioned on a post for “Restoring someone’s faith in humanity” by tracking them down and returning their annual travel card, that they had dropped, to them. They felt so happy but I felt happier. Buy the book and feel your life become better and everyone’s around you. Thanks David

A must read for everyone today!
This book is an absolutely fantastic read, I knew kindness could have a big impact on others but knowing how much it can help ourselves was so interesting. So many things I am going to start to do. Wonderfully written, easy to understand and so many wonderful examples and stories. I’m going to consciously try to do more kind things and have already seen the positive effect.
I am a trainee counsellor and think some of the ideas shared in this book could really help clients with depression, along with counsellors themselves! Thank you David and I’m going to download your other book I Heart Me next, think I could do with improving my self compassion!
