More Description

Soldiers, doctors, activists, prisoners, designers, actors and down-and-outs are changing their worlds using kindness. Anita Roddick is one of the world's most controversial and successful businesswomen, renowned for her campaigning on the issues of human rights and globalisation, and now kindness.In the tradition of Take It Personally, A Revolution in Kindness, written and compiled by Anita, is a collection of fierce, tenacious, visionary contributions, random and unexpected and absolutely revolutionary. With contributions from human rights activists, United Nations workers, homeless people, political prisoners, celebrities, asylum seekers and politicians, A Revolution in Kindness seeks to turn the preconception of kindness on its head, to revolutionise our thinking about it, to redefine it as a moral and ethical value, to recognise those unconventional places where it is found.Featuring strong, deliberate, assertive contributions, it seeks just that: a revolution in kindness. Individual contributions have come from entertainers Annie Lennox, Wayne Hemingway, Goldie Hawn, Melanie Griffith, Angelique Jolie; contemporary philosophers David Korten, and Matthew Fox; actvists John Bird and Ralph Nader; as well as many key political, environmental figures. 'Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution' - Kahlil Gibran.
