It all started in Sausalito, California, in 1982, when Anne Herbert scrawled "practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty" on a place mat in a restaurant. From there it spread to bumper stickers, quietly at first, but with the powerful momentum of something important calling us to lives of caring and compassion. The bestselling book, Random Acts of Kindness, which includes touching stories, quotations, and thoughtful suggestions, creates a feeling of possibility that can propel us into lives of compassion.
The Editors of Conari Press have produced the bestselling Random Acts of Kindness series, with over 1 million copies sold.
