Book Description
50 transformative acts of kindness. For the self. For others. For nature. Aimed at mobilizing the world's youth to create a positive culture of kindness, the UNESCO Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) launched the #KindnessMatters global campaign to gather proof that kindness could drive scalable, positive and sustainable change. In the process, they were met with narratives so deeply moving, it confirmed what they knew all along-that kindness wasn't defined by lofty tales; it had always existed all around us, what we needed was to celebrate it in every moment of life because #KindnessMatters every day. Inspiring and thought-provoking, #KindnessMatters documents stories and poems of kindness from across the world, featuring voices and journeys of people who have dedicated their lives to making the world a kinder place. This book proves that small actions often have the biggest impact.

Book Description
The youngest Boomers are not quite fifty; the oldest have already turned sixty-five. A generation that started out in the 1960s, determined to be young forever, is now asking what the point is of growing old. Convinced they were special, Boomers discounted authority and charted their own course. They believed they could make the world better by pursuing freedom. The legacy of the Boomer experiment is becoming evident. Freedoms that were new when Boomers were young are now taken for granted, and we are living "after freedom." Are our freedoms real or illusory? Can we count on anything to be certain? Do virtue and character matter? In a secular age can we recover respect for the sacred? The time is ripe for Boomers to reconsider those good things in the past they refused to honor, to voice their blessings for generations who will shape the future, and to reclaim conviction as they stand firm and dare to say, "This is what I believe." Table of Contents: Part One Baby Boomer Dilemma How Did We Get So Socially Alienated and Spiritually Lonely? Chapter One - The Stories Chapter Two - Boomer Legacy Chapter Three - Forever Young Chapter Four - Liberty to License Chapter Five - Is Freedom an Illusion? Chapter Six - Free Opinions Chapter Seven - Tangled in Freedom Part Two Rethinking Freedom, Reclaiming Virtue, and Searching for Meaning Chapter Eight - Daring to Face the Truth About Ourselves Chapter Nine - Gratitude Makes a Difference Chapter Ten - Offloading Anger Chapter Eleven - Recovering Attachments Chapter Twelve - Seasoned by Care Chapter Thirteen - Reclaiming the Sacred Circle Chapter Fourteen - A Last Chapter Notes
