In a world where all we hear is doom and gloom, this book is like a lighthouse beacon showing us something hidden from the world - the goodness of our fellow humans.
I like many of you have probably seen the posts from Upworthy on social media. I follow them on Instagram. The good news, feel-good posts leave me smiling and with hope that the world really does have good people left in it.
In GOOD PEOPLE: Stories From the Best of Humanity, these are the more in-depth stories that we read on social media. There are six chapters that collect common topics for the reader to pour over. For example, in Chapter 1, we learn about the kindness of strangers. These are stories of those drive-by humans who impact our lives when we feel like the world is crumbling around us. There are stories about children in the chapter called The Kids are Alright. I love they way kids can make you see your life in a completely different light. Such is the way a 3-year-old tells a woman that the woman isn't too big to fit in her playhouse but that the playhouse is too small for the woman. Precious!
GOOD PEOPLE: Stories From the Best of Humanity is one of those books that you'll be pulling out when you need a quick pick-me-up or you need something to make you smile. You'll be able to pick it us while waiting for an appointment or while you're eating lunch and it won't leave you hanging because the stories are detailed enough to have you emotionally involved but short enough that you can finish one in no time. Needless to say, I really love this book and highly recommend it. Get your copy HERE.
