About this audiobook
We're all pretty nice people, right? It's just that occasionally we're tempted to gossip or indulge in a little justified road rage . . . or snap at our spouse . . . maybe scream at our kids . . . I mean, if everyone else would get with the program, we wouldn't be this way!
But maybe the trouble isn't with all those other people who aggravate us. Maybe we're the problem-specifically, the way we react to inconveniences, accidents, and just plain old everyday life with negative words, thoughts, and actions. Because the truth is, when we stop focusing on how we're being affected and start responding in kind ways, that's when something remarkable happens: we actually feel happier ourselves.
With humor, compassion, and encouragement, Nicole Phillips draws on scientific research and real-life examples to help us recognize unhelpful negative thought patterns, show kindness toward others even when we don't feel like it, and discover how one little change actually changes everything.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a great book, especially right now in these crazy times. I can’t remember highlighting a book as much as I did this one – I need to go back and digest all the evocative ideas. Through sharing some very personal stories, the author weaves in many powerful, positive ways to change our lives. We are continually influenced by the world, people around us, and our “internal meanie”, all working to bring negativity into our lives daily. But we have the power to change how we react, and Nicole Phillips walks us gently through ways to change our perspective. “Hurry, worry, and jury” will stay with you after reading this book, and you’ll have kindness at the forefront of your mind. Thank you to JustRead tours and NetGalley for a copy of this book. I was under no obligation to write a positive review; all opinions are my own.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am not a huge non-fiction reader but I am getting better at it because really sometimes it is needed. This book is definitely very needed in today's current events and the way society deals with things. I have always taught my former students and now my children that being kind trumps everything else. You not only feel good but you never know how that response may trigger a chain of reaction on the other person.Nicole explains this in greater detail and to perfection in her book. She does so by sharing personal stories along with other people's stories, so she makes the book relatable and easy to read because it is something that she lives not that she's just spouting off to make a book. She touches on some very important and deeper issues of being nice to those that have hurt us but she also acknowledges that sometimes acts of kindness may not go as planned.The conversational style makes it feel like you are chatting with a friend over a cup of coffee. I definitely recommend this as an addition to your non-fiction bookshelf.(I received this book for review. I was not required to post a positive review. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.)
