Claudia Hammond’s books are a solace in troubled times

[Hammond] doesn’t want to make kindness cool, she simply wants to prove — by hook, crook, her book and hard data — its value to society

More about
the book
Kindness can be your super-power. It feels good to be kind to others. And it feels good to receive kindness. Making the world better, in however small a way, feels good and does good. Did you know kinder bosses are more successful bosses? That paying it forward can help build a purpose-driven life? Being kind strengthens relationships. Acts of kindness, whether given or received, improve our mental and physical health.
Drawing on the latest research from psychology and neuroscience, and her work in collaboration with the University of Sussex and the BBC, Claudia Hammond sets out a prescription for a kinder life that you can adapt to your own circumstances, and explains how to use this guidance for ourselves, others and the world.
It’s time for a kindness revolution.
More about
the book
In The Keys to Kindness Claudia Hammond takes us on an eye-opening tour of kindness: what constitutes kindness (it’s not what you think), effective strategies to build more of it into our lives and the benefits of being kind.

There is more kindness in the world that you might think
Being kind makes you feel good and that’s OK
Kind people can be winners
Remember to be kind to yourself
You are kinder than you think, but we could all be kinder still – with enormous benefits for our personal mental health and wellbeing.

A clarion call
Claudia Hammond has written a handbook on the benefits and keys to kindness [ . . . ] formed by a new, unique study called The Kindness Test, run by her colleagues at the University of Sussex, and launched on the BBC. If you've never thought about what kindness means, the results will be as fascinating as they are thought-provoking . . . Full of common sense, gentle wisdom and altruism
From the state of global politics to the climate crisis, the world feels more divided than ever. But The Keys to Kindness stands up in the face of this overwhelming issue - and provides us with the tools to address it . . . If one thing’s for sure, Hammond’s book is a firm reminder of how important kindness really is – and why being kinder to yourself, others and the world around you is valuable for everyone
Praise for The Art of Rest:
Fascinating, entertaining and lucidly written . . . If we accept that reading is the most restful activity . . . The Art of Rest ought to be equivalent to a scientific siesta. The only trouble is that this outstanding book is far too stimulating to be restful
Claudia Hammond’s superb book reminds us of a truth that’s too often forgotten: that rest isn’t just an indulgence, but an essential part of a life lived well
