Authentic Kindness: The Path to Peace, Love and Joy - Paperback

In this world full of division, turmoil and despair, Barbara Gulbranson's Authentic Kindness: The Path to Peace, Love and Joy offers a novel awareness that all of us are united as one human race, and the only way to lead a joyous and peaceful life, as well as thrive, is by practicing authentic kindness. Such an appeal can be considered as grandiose and impossible by many, especially skeptics, but the book provides a powerful, workable instrument on how to achieve it. Gulbranson shares relevant real-life stories of kindness in action and down-to-earth techniques on how to practice authentic kindness to experience unparalleled levels of peace, love and joy.

Even for fist-time readers of Gulbranson's work, one can readily appreciate her deep, enlightened thought process towards a journey of genuine healing through the practice of authentic kindness. The brilliant fusion of both Eastern and Western spirituality and philosophies narrated, along with the lives of ordinary people, offers a deep and enriching reading experience. Practical tools such as the "Kindness Tool Kit" and the guide on creating our "Bodhichitta Attitude," which is a mental outlook that espouses "lovingkindness" helps change the lives of both the individual and those around that person.
