Adult Books About Giving and Kindness

Adult Books About Giving and Kindness

 

We just completed a list of children’s books about giving and kindness. Now have our adult list of books about giving and kindness. The cozy fall season is the best time for book-lovers to get lost in a good book (and the changing leaves).

Reading allows us to educate ourselves on unexplored topics and challenge our way of thinking. A good book (fictional or non-fictional) can make us smile, cry, or laugh, and the best ones often help us find deeper meaning.

If you are looking to get inspired to give, reading about the power of giving and its benefits, as well as real-life stories of how others in your local and global communities are giving back may be the perfect start to your path of philanthropy.

Order any of these books at your local book store as your give for the day. Buying locally is a great way to give and who better to support than your local bookstore!
