The Joy of Actually Giving a F*ck How Kindness Can Cure Stress and Make You Happy

‘This book should be the thought for the day every single day.’
Dr. Julie Smith, Sunday Times bestselling author

Far from being fluffy sentiments, acts of kindness – whether given, received or witnessed – are potent elixirs that have a profound and lasting impact on our mental and physical health.

From boosting happiness to soothing the soul, kindness isn’t just a feel-good notion – it’s a powerhouse. It relaxes your nerves, lowers blood pressure, reduces inflammation and even slows down ageing at the genetic level.

This book serves as a beacon of light, urging you to spread kindness like wildfire. Because in a world where apathy reigns, giving a f*ck is revolutionary. And when we do, we not only enrich ourselves but bring joy into our communities and the wider world.
