As seen on the Today show. “Maybe the thing I love most of all is how these sweet rocks give people hope, sometimes when they need it the most.” —Becca Anderson, author of Bad Ass Affirmations

It all started with a single stone on a beach in Cape Cod and now spans the globe. The Kindness Rocks Project, founded by Megan Murphy, is based on the profound truth that one kind message at the right moment can change someone’s day, their outlook, and their whole life. The project has become an international grassroots movement! The messages on these thoughtful pebbles take many forms: gratitude, affirmations, encouragement, offers of hope, all signposts along the way for someone to find at exactly the right time.

Sometimes, all it takes is just one simple positive message to change your perspective and that is what this book aims to do. Through visual photos of inspirational Kindness rocks, readers can connect the meaning of the rock to their life situations or circumstances. Along with instructions on how to create your own rock, you will learn:

How to cultivate compassion and connection

How to grow through hard times

Affirmations to boost self-esteem and offer hope

How one act of kindness can change a life

A completely unique kind of art therapy for healing and helping

“This idea is so right on so many levels. The tactile reminder of thoughts to enrich our lives. The unlimitedness of rocks similar to the abundant ways we can be more compassionate. And, I love its double message: physical rocks with meaningful messages, and, the fact that kindness truly does rock.” —Allen Klein, author of The Art of Living Joyfully
