The Science of Kindness: How Small Acts Create a Better Future

from Our Future is Kind Podcast · host Micheal Neece , Jaclyn Lindsey

In this episode of Our Future is Kind, Michael Neece speaks with Jaclyn Lindsey, co-founder and CEO of Kindness.org and ⭐Our Future Is Kind CO-AUTHOR⭐, about the science behind kindness and why it is essential for creating a better future. Jaclyn shares how kindness is not just a nice-to-have trait, but a powerful skill that impacts individuals, workplaces, communities, and future generations. The conversation explores kindness as a muscle we can strengthen, the ripple effect of small actions, building kinder workplaces, and how programs like Learn Kind are helping children develop empathy, mindfulness, and social-emotional skills. Jaclyn also shares why kindness requires courage, accountability, and the willingness to create meaningful change. Kindness Challenge: Practice strengthening your kindness muscle by choosing one intentional act of kindness, especially during a challenging moment. Pause, ask how you can help someone, and notice how that small action creates a positive impact for both you and others.  Stay Inspired: Find motivation by exploring the science and stories behind kindness, connecting with people creating positive change, and noticing everyday moments that remind you of humanity's goodness. Jaclyn recommends exploring resources from Kindness.org, reading The Second Mountain by David Brooks, and enjoying uplifting books, documentaries, and experiences that spark curiosity, hope, and compassion.  Their new book "Our Future is Kind"! https://www.ourfutureiskind.com/ofikbook  Verified Links : Website: https://kindness.org/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaclyndsey/  Their new book "Our Future is Kind"! https://www.ourfutureiskind.com/ofikbook  Please visit our website to get more information: http://ourfutureiskind.com/  Michael G.
