'A wonderful book' - Dr. Rangan Chatterjee 'Highly convincing' -
Daily Express 'Pioneering' - The Telegraph 'The strength of the
book lies in its description of how community life can have a
transformative effect on individuals' - British Journal of General
Practice Across the country, general hospital admissions are on the
rise. But in a small town in rural England, thanks to the simple
introduction of kindness and compassion, that trend has been
reversed. And what this town achieved, we can all adopt in our own
lives to powerful effect. Through daily mindful acts of care we are
capable of changing things for the better, both inside ourselves
and for the world around us. Frome in Somerset isn't special. It
could be any town; it could be your town. And yet the people who
live there have a story to tell about the simple, ground-shaking
power of compassion. If it came in tablet form, it would be hailed
as a wonder of modern medicine. By contrast, it's entirely free but
offers heartening evidence that when human beings make time for
each other, the beneficial effects go far beyond the reach of naive
optimism. 'A culture in which compassion is a prevailing value
allows individuals to flourish and bring their talents and gifts to
the communities in which they live. Unanticipated possibilities
emerge, presenting fresh ways of addressing what previously
appeared to be insoluble problems. Hearts are lifted. The case for
hope is more strongly made. And as the people who work in this way
begin to change the world immediately around them, so too, the
wider world beyond begins to change.' Dr Julian Abel & Lindsay
Clarke
