Acts Of Kindness From Your Armchair

I absolutely love this book. Being a person with limited mobility and unable to drive and do the things I used to do this book was very helpful and something I will refer back to on a regular basis. Any person who is in the same position and is used to being the caregiver instead of the one needing this is going to love this book. Retires are going to love this book. It would be a great gift for someone else or for yourself. This is also great for other people who want to help but have no idea where to start. Teenagers who cannot drive, college kids, and others. The list is long.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I requested this book from Netgalley as although I am not an invalid physically I do suffer with social anxiety and often struggle to know how I can make a difference to the world.

As I started reading I came across suggested exercises and I groaned as I really don't like that kind of task but I decided to read on. I was so pleased that I did. Anita Neilson offered up quite a number of interesting suggestions that one could easily carry out, explaining effectively that any act carried out in the name of Love goes towards building up the amount of love in the world and decreasing the fear (only she explained it a lot better than that) It made for a really interesting read and encouraged me that even I can make a positive difference even with just my thoughts.

I felt that there were too many pointers to the list of helpful references that jarred with the flow, a number next to each one would indicate that there was more to be found elsewhere.

I felt that the chapters on the environment and animals was possibly put in to make up the number of pages as I personally found this advice rather generic.

To sum up this book has made a difference in my life already and I am sure I will be re-visiting it time and again.
