Lessons of Kindness

LESSONS OF KINDNESS:
Transformations from Around the World

If you find yourself sharing an isolated hiking trail with a heavily tattooed young man with an unstable gait, eager to start a conversation with you, where does your imagination take you? Are you on guard? Do you make assumptions? Do you choose to distance yourself? That is exactly what Rick did, only to discover that this wonderful human being taught him a priceless lesson about judgment.

Rick’s story is one of many inspiring personal accounts in Lessons of Kindness. A diverse range of more than seventy contributors from around the world donated their stories based upon a common wish to share how they encountered goodness in times of uncertainty and despair. Coupled with exquisite photographs of heart-shaped rocks found along the California coastline, these true stories illuminate the acts of kindness unfolding all around us, helping to restore our faith in humanity.

Tway Huynh is a daughter, sister, aunt, niece, friend, creator, and optimist. Born overseas and educated in Southern California, her ever-evolving worldview has been influenced by her travels to Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Iceland, Jordan, Morocco, Nepal, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam.

Her deep appreciation for cultures and customs underlies her belief that we are all one even as we are each unique.

After experiencing burnout in corporate America, Tway returned to the California coast to nourish her soul.

GET TO KNOW THE AUTHOR

Tway Huynh

After months of prayerfully seeking a sign that she was on the right path, she was led to find a naturally formed rock in the shape of a heart. Her discovery became the inspiration for this book of her photographs and the collected stories of invited contributors.

Tway’s hope was that Lessons of Kindness would change the lives of others, but she has come to understand that these stories first healed and transformed her. She lives north of San Diego, California, where heart-shaped rocks find her nearly everywhere she goes.

"The common thread through all the incredible stories in this book is kindness—one of the most powerful forces in the universe. When we connect in kindness, in understanding, and with deep empathy—for others and for ourselves—lives transform. And when we transform lives, we transform the world. Kindness is both selfless and in our own self interest, because the secret of kindness is that it contains the roots of lasting joy and happiness for all.”
