Download or read book Kindness and the Good Society written by William S. Hamrick and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2004 Edward Goodwin Ballard Book Prize in Phenomenology presented by the Center for Advanced Research in Phenomenology with interest from a fund raised from Professor Ballard's family, students, and friends Kindness and the Good Society utilizes phenomenology and a wide variety of traditional and non-traditional sources to provide the first comprehensive account of kindness in any genre of philosophy. Remarkably rich in descriptive detail and drawing upon a wide range of examples, including literary sources, current affairs, and traditional philosophical texts, Hamrick's book rescues kindness from the purposeful neglect of deontological and utilitarian ethical theories. Beginning with an account of the personal and social areas of ethical and moral comportment, Hamrick addresses what is not intuitively obvious about kindness and its opposite, details a critical kindness that avoids both naiveté as well as popular cynicism, and guides us toward a new notion of aesthetic humanism.

Download or read book The Kindness Revolution written by Hugh Mackay and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generous, erudite, optimistic and candid...Hugh Mackay encourages us to find the best in ourselves and in our society in both good and troubled times. Revolutions never start at the top. If we dare to dream of a more loving country - kinder, more compassionate, more cooperative, more respectful, more inclusive, more egalitarian, more harmonious, less cynical - there's only one way to start turning that dream into a reality: each of us must live as if this is already that country. Following the ravages of 2020's bushfires and pandemic on our mental and emotional health and on the economy, Hugh Mackay reflects on the challenges we faced during that year of upheaval and the questions many of us have asked. What really matters to me? Am I living the kind of life I want? What sort of society do I want us to become? Urging us not to let those questions go, and pointing to our inspiring displays of kindness and consideration, our personal sacrifices for the common good and our heightened appreciation of the value of local neighbourhoods and communities, he asks in turn: 'Could we become renowned as a loving country, rather than simply a "lucky" one?' Absorbing, wise and inspiring, The Kindness Revolution is a distillation of Hugh Mackay's life's work. Written for our times, this truly remarkable book shows how crises and catastrophes often turn out to be the making of us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The power of kindness can easily be underestimated. In a world where we're all so focused on ourselves and our own goals, it can be difficult to recognize the power of a simple act of kindness. But the truth is that kindness is one of the most powerful forces in the world. It can have a transformative impact on individuals and on society as a whole. The power of kindness is rooted in the simple idea that when we treat others with kindness, we help them to feel valued and respected. This sense of being valued and respected is essential for our well-being and for the functioning of society. Kindness creates a positive ripple effect, where the kindness of one person encourages others to be kind in return, creating a cycle of kindness. Kindness is also associated with a variety of positive psychological benefits. Research has shown that kindness can improve physical and mental health, reduce stress, and even lead to greater life satisfaction. Kindness is also a key factor in building and maintaining relationships. When we show kindness to others, they are more likely to reciprocate, which can help us form strong and lasting bonds. Finally, kindness can have a powerful impact on society as a whole. Kindness can help create a sense of community and connectedness and can even lead to positive social change. Kindness can help bridge divides and foster understanding between different groups of people. In short, the power of kindness is vast and far-reaching. It can have a powerful and transformative impact on individuals, relationships, and society as a whole. In this chapter, we will explore the power of kindness in more detail, as well as discuss the ways in which we can cultivate kindness in our daily lives.

Download or read book Kindness in Leadership written by Gay Haskins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a global climate of increasing complexity and uncertainty, there have been calls for a more responsible form of leadership in business and society. The relationship between kindness and leadership is therefore a topic of fundamental importance for our well-being as individuals, for the success of our organisations, and for the future of our global community. Kindness in Leadership is one of the first books to explore both the concept and practice of kindness in leadership and consider them in different societal and organisational settings. Its uniqueness lies in combining an innovative mix of personal views from leaders with explorations of organisational philosophies and practices. It opens with a definition of kindness and its contours and underpinnings. It then explores the importance of kindness within different organisations, parts of the world, economic strata, age groups and genders, drawing on research on organisational compassion and neuroscience. In order to support learning, each chapter is supported by a series of questions for consideration and discussion. This will be a stimulating and thought-provoking read for a wide audience of practicing managers and leaders in organisations of all shapes and sizes, for academics involved in educating for leadership, and for students aspiring to develop their own kind and compassionate leadership style.
