Summary

A practical guide to being nice.

Much of today's media tells us to be thinner, richer, and more successful. This book tells us how to be nicer. Niceness may not have the immediate allure of money or fame, but we can all benefit from practical advice on how to be more patient, better at listening, less irritable, and less defensive.

This is a guidebook to the uncharted landscape of niceness, gently exploring the key themes of this often overlooked quality. We learn how to be charitable, how to forgive, how to be natural, and how to reassure. We learn that, rather than indicating naivety, kindness and empathy are in fact unique strengths—and deserve to be rediscovered as the greatest of all human achievements.

another excellent book in the series

covers both the downside of nice - and how to avoid it - and how to be more civil and kind in general. I have the physical book, which are always beautifully presented, but find the audiobooks so much easier and quicker to absorb.

Narrated by an annoying voice

i was unimpressed with the tone & flow of the narrators voice which is disappointing as the books content was relatable & easy to understand. I love audible but in this case i'll buy the hard copy
