Hugh Mackay’s simple ways to be kinder everyday

During the pandemic everyone was kinder, more forgiving and friendlier… don’t you think? Social psychologist Hugh Mackay did and this collective kindness inspired him to write a book (he’s written 22 btw) called The Kindness Revolution. In this ep, he discusses how our mindset shifted in 2020, how to push past prejudices (and make your default position kindness), and simple ways to be kinder everyday.   WANT MORE FROM HUGH MACKAY?
