About the Book This Wall Street Journal best seller, USA Today best seller and Canadian Book Club Awards winner is filled with inspiring, true stories about how one small deed can make a world of difference. Elegant and wise (Deepak Chopra), The most uplifting and life-affirming book in years (Forbes). This might be the most beautiful book Ive ever read. Its lifted my soul and brought me to tears in all the right ways (Jane Green, author of 18 New York Times best sellers). Brad Aronsons life changed in an instant when his wife, Mia, was diagnosed with leukemia. After her diagnosis, Brad spent most of the next two and a half years either by her side as she received treatment or trying to shield their five-year-old son, Jack, from the worst of Mias illness. Amid the stress and despair of waiting for the treatment to work, Brad and Mia were met by an outpouring of kindness from friends, family and even complete strangers. Inspired by the many demonstrations of humankindness that supported their family through Mias recovery, Brad began writing about the people who rescued his family from that dark time, often with the smallest of gestures. But he didnt stop there. Knowing that simple acts of kindness transform lives across the globe every day, he sought out these inspirational stories and shares the most heartwarming ones here. In HumanKind youll meet a mentor who changed a childs life with a single lesson in shoe tying; an inspiring six-year-old who launched a global kindness movement; a band of seamstress grandmothers who descend on Philadelphia every week to patch clothes -- and, in the process, mend hearts-- for homeless people; and many other heroes. Brad also provides dozens of ways you can make a difference in others lives through the simplest words and deeds. From a $200 donation that can cure someones blindness to letters of encouragement you can send to nonprofits that deliver mail to hospitalized kids, lonely seniors and others in need, youll be amazed how far a little kindness goes. All author royalties from this uplifting best seller go to Big Brothers Big Sisters.

About the Author Brad Aronson is a husband and a dad, and when hes holding the parenting reins, he likes to go all out. For him that means leading an egg drop competition from the third-floor window of his familys home or heading up indoor games of baseball and hockey, and then having to explain why something else is now in pieces. Luckily, his wife, Mia, is understanding. Brad loves teaching entrepreneurship to youth in Camden, N.J., and volunteering on the nonprofit boards of Big Brothers Big Sisters and Hopeworks. One day, Brad hopes to be famous for co-founding a national holiday that features a seven-foot-tall orange tree and more than fifty stuffed monkeys (see chapter nine in HumanKind). In the meantime, he works with tech startups and writes books.
