About this audiobook
Be kind. It sounds simple, so why is it so difficult? Most of us recognize that being kinder and more present would not only improve our own lives and the lives of our loved ones, but also strengthen our communities.
Numerous scientific studies have confirmed that both living mindfully and being kind to others offer a host of benefits -- from stronger relationships to longer life. Yet even if we truly care and are motivated to change, we find that old habits keep us from achieving our goal of increasing our kindness and improving our relationships.

Doug Carnine
Douglas Carnine, a professor emeritus from the University of Oregon, began his pursuit of scientific research, instructional design, Buddhism and martial arts when he was 21. His academic career focused on failure-to-thrive children and lead to him receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council for Exceptional Children. After retiring, he became curious about the importance of kindness from working with men convicted of murder and serving as a hospice volunteer. After reviewing the research on kindness, he decided to devote his writing and his advocacy to making the importance of mindful kindness more prominent. The resulting project is his website Feedkindness.com along with the books ‘How Love Wins’ and ‘Saint Badass.’

Reviews for How Love Wins

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Excellent book for anybody looking to increase goodness in their life. The author walks readers through Buddhist principals of Mindfulness, paving the way to greater kindness toward others, and toward oneself.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What first impressed me about HOW LOVE WINS is the format of the book. It has a well delineated Table of Contents so I know specifically the content of the book with two chapters immediately catching my interest. Whenever I am going to read nonfiction I look at the end of the book and I recommend you know what's there: a Resources List, Glossary and blank pages. I started writing notes in the back but I'm going to have to dedicate a notebook for my notes instead. Why? Once you start reading the bullets and illustrations and charts are helpful, but the "your turn", "checking in" and "time for reflection" writing prompts will get you thinking and writing about your life and how to integrate kindness into it. You need to take your time in reading this book thus I have not finished yet, but the author, who kindly offered this book in LibraryThing's giveaway program for review, deserves to have this book reviewed as it is truly good.
