A lot of people have been asking if my new book is a counter to Mark Manson’s, ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck’, so I made this short video to clear it up. #NewBook #thesubtleart

Lovely double page feature in the @Sunday_Post today about my new book (The Joy of Actually Giving a F*ck), about how kindness can make you healthier and happier. And lovely mention of my Dad, who passed away shortly before I starting writing it. #SundayMorning

What a lovely way to spend a Monday afternoon…watching some of our amazing judges discuss the ‘kind adult’ category of our Kindness Awards. The number of kind souls working in our schools has made their job incredibly challenging!

Amazing start to the #TakingGoodCare conference. "The opposite of the experience of stress is the experience of kindness." Fascinating learning about the physiological impact kindness has on our health @DrDRHamilton @WellbeingInFife

A lady shared her mum's words in a comment on one of my videos today (on TikTok): "Never be too busy to be kind. You may be the only interaction that someone has had." Very true words. You never know what a person's life is like behind the scenes. Never be too busy to be kind.

#kindness is one of the most contagious phenomena I’ve come across in science. Helping others because someone has helped us is part of human nature. The motivation to pay-it-forward is due to what social psychologist @JonHaidt calls, ‘elevation’.💛

Happy World #SelfLoveDay! Before you lavish your sweetie on Valentine's Day tomorrow, take a bit of time you love on yourself today. Kindness scientist @DrDRHamilton explains how caring for ourselves allows us to show up more for others 💕 #SpeakersOfSubstance #SelfCare
Today (13th Feb) is World #selfloveday Be kind to yourself as well as others.💛 The idea is that when we learn to love ourselves too, we have more of ourselves available with which to love others.
