Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Think of your toughest relationship. Think of a relationship that is good but could be great. Would small actions make that big a difference? Yes!

After years of extensive research, Shaunti Feldhahn has concluded that kindness is a superpower. It can change any relationship, make your life easier and better, and transform our culture. But how does it work? And how can you show kindness when you don’t feel like it?

In The Kindness Challenge, Shaunti explores….
* Three simple acts that make all the difference in any relationship (with a spouse, child, co-worker, brother-in-law…)
* Whether kindness is ever the wrong approach
* The seven ways you may be unkind and never realize it
* Eight types of kindness—and which might be the best fit for you
* Ten sneaky obstacles that get in the way of giving praise
* Practical ways to persevere when kindness is tough

With self-assessments, day-to-day tips, a 30-day challenge, and specific kindness ideas, The Kindness Challenge can make your toughest relationships better and your good relationships great—starting today.


My Review:
The Kindness Challenge looks at how kindness can transform all types of family and work relationships. The author talked about the benefits we receive from being kind and ways you might be unkind to others and ways to be kind to others (some of which you might not have thought of). She provided details about the three actions you are to do each day for the 30-day challenge. At the end, she included prompts for each day--usually a suggestion of a kind act to do. Overall, I thought she made good points which will help with most people.
