Dr Stephanie Dowrick’s new book, Everyday Kindness: Short cuts to a happier and more confident life, offers short, wise and often very entertaining chapters on the great variety of experiences that we call “everyday life”. Adding kindness to the mix – or greater care, appreciation, good humour, respect – life itself takes a turn for the better. We feel better. We are far easier and more comfortable to be around.

Stephanie Dowrick offers the insight and patience we may need in a time of change or confusion. She offers vigorous, creative encouragement to help us to enjoy life more, as well as the company of our loved ones. And to be far more appreciative company also – for ourselves and for other people. In a number of chapters, she writes with surprising passion about food, moods and exercise: about feeling better from the inside out and the outside in. A long-time parent, and formerly a psychotherapist to many parents (and adult children), she offers many practical insights about more loving, confident parenting. Relationships, self-confidence, personal power: they are all explored here in ways that can’t fail to encourage and inspire her committed readers and find her many new ones.
