Revolutions never start at the top. If we dare to dream of a more
loving country - kinder, more compassionate, more cooperative, more
respectful, more inclusive, more egalitarian, more harmonious, less
cynical - there's only one way to start turning that dream into a
reality: each of us must live as if this is already that country.
Following the ravages of 2020's bushfires and pandemic on our
mental and emotional health and on the economy, Hugh Mackay
reflects on the challenges we faced during that year of upheaval
and the questions many of us have asked. What really matters to me?
Am I living the kind of life I want? What sort of society do I want
us to become? Urging us not to let those questions go, and pointing
to our inspiring displays of kindness and consideration, our
personal sacrifices for the common good and our heightened
appreciation of the value of local neighbourhoods and communities,
he asks in turn: 'Could we become renowned as a loving country,
rather than simply a "lucky" one?' Absorbing, wise and inspiring,
The Kindness Revolution is a distillation of Hugh Mackay's life's
work. Written for our times, this truly remarkable book shows how
crises and catastrophes often turn out to be the making of us.
