We've had different forms of hardness, you know, whether it's pandemic and isolation or whether it's economic I think everyone's just feeling exhausted. It seems to me that if we've ever needed kindness, we need it now. And I don't think there's any human on Earth who couldn't use a bit more kindness or comfort or hope or a healing.

This isn't directly related to the book itself but the author is a self-proclaimed Evangelist who has recently found Jesus Christ after being an atheist all his life. He has been speaking publicly about this before he published his book and has been previously described as the most famous evangelist in the UK. It does tie in with the very abstract clichés found in the book itself. I'm cynical about writers who talk about love and kindness and righteousness from the perspective of religion. We should not be teaching children that love and kindness stem from an omniscient being who made us in his image but simply because it's the right thing to do for the greater good, for a better, richer, greener planet.
