Performing acts of kindness, even anonymously, releases endorphins that make you feel good and increase your self-esteem. But what about the far-reaching impact of kindness on the recipients? Here we have personal stories from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and 100-year-old Norman Lear, along with Ben Affleck, Garth Brooks, Lady Gaga, Trisha Yearwood, Luis Miranda and many others to find real life moments where kindness made a huge difference. Featuring stories of bullying, mental health, racial injustice, and climate change, Case for Kindness builds the case that civilization and humanity itself could not exist without kindness.
