Dispelling the myth that kindness signals weakness, Stefanovic critiques the \"selfish gene\" narrative and reconsiders the roles of aggression and competition in human development. The book demonstrates instead how moral integrity, social justice, basic civility, and human progress are reinforced through the practice of kindness. These values find expression not only in interpersonal relationships, but also in social and cultural norms, environmental ethics, and the design of our towns and cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePositioning kindness as a guiding principle for the good life, \u003cem\u003eA Kinder World\u003c\/em\u003e also offers practical pathways for cultivating it in an increasingly unkind world. Drawing on educational tools and behavioural strategies, the book shows that kindness is not naïve or incidental, but a deliberate practice - and the enduring foundation of human flourishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aevo Utp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487546724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.25w x 0.90d","brand":"Ingrid Leman Stefanovic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53514295214261,"sku":"9781487546724","price":29.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9781487546724.jpg?v=1791903467","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-kinder-world-inspiring-global-empathy-9781487546724","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
