Kindness Across America by Joel Malard
One sunny August morning, author Joel Malard set out from his home in Fremont, California, to begin a 20-day train journey across the length of the United States and back again. With him, he carried a notebook and one question he would ask over 45 strangers he encountered on his journey: What is kindness?
To celebrate Joel’s journey, we too will be passing his book from one hand to another. I will be mailing a copy of the book out to my friend, Jason in Vancouver, Washington and from there it will continue to make its way around the world. Feel free to highlight in the book, sign your name and leave any comments before mailing it to the next person on the list. If you’re interested in taking part in this fun experiment, email Jason at jason@lifevestinside.com Subject: Kindness Across America.
