Thanks to Dr. Freeman, we now have a powerful tool to cultivate and recognize kindness in everyday situations, from sharing a toy to spending time with family."" --Elizabeth Bagley, PhD, educator and mother of two ""Kindness enriches the lives of those who give it and those who receive it, increasing both mental and physical wellbeing.
