The beloved creator of Blues Clues and Daniel Tigerâs Neighborhood and protĂŠgĂŠ of Fred Rogers explores the importance of kindness and how it can change your life in this essential guide and tie-in to the PBS special, âThe Power of Radical Kindness.â
Angela C. Santomero, the creator, executive producer, and head writer of many of todayâs most popular educational childrenâs shows believes in the radical power of kindness, on her shows, and in her life. Inspired by her mentor Fred Rogers, beloved host of the classic, award-winning PBS show Mister Rogersâ Neighborhood, Angela has dedicated her life to teaching others that when you treat yourself and others with warmth, empathy, and respect, life changing benefits follows.
From the true meaning of self-care and the gift of vulnerability, to the importance of active listening or the magic of asking for help, Radical Kindness goes beyond The Golden Rule and entreaties to âbe nice,â contending that kindness is the key to recognizing others, and ourselves, as worthy of love and understanding.
Much like gratitude, Angela contends we need a kindness practice. A practice in which we learn to see with our hearts and act from a place of compassion. As the Dalai Lama says, âBe kind whenever possible. It is always possible.â Through practicing radical kindnessâtoward ourselves, with loved ones, and to the world at largeâwe can transform ourselves, our neighborhood, and our world for the better.
