Summary
We can all agree that the world needs more kindness right now. But the practice of meaningful, deep kindness is more challenging than you'd think. It requires empathy, intention, mindfulness and commitment.
Yet the rewards of cultivating a kindness practice are enormous. Kindness mends stressed relationships, boosts self esteem, protects against depression and anxiety, and strengthens supportive friendships. Practicing kindness helps you as much as it helps others.
In this episode, my guest Houston Kraft, author of "Deep Kindness," shares how to have courage and be kind, and cultivate a transformational kindness practice that will lift everyone up, including you.
Tune in, and unleash the power of kindness in your life!

| 0:00.0 | This is Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby and you're listening to the love, happiness, and success podcast. |
| 0:19.3 | The super gorgeous song we're listening together right now is called Angola Moon. It's from the band |
| 0:24.2 | An Eagle in Your Mind, off their album, Magnificent Weapon. I thought it was the perfect introduction |
| 0:30.9 | for our topic today. We're talking about the power of kindness, a topic I think more important than ever in our crazy world. |
| 0:41.1 | And today we're talking with an expert on the subject about how we can all intentionally |
| 0:47.2 | cultivate real, meaningful kindness in our communities and in our relationships and within ourselves. |
| 0:56.0 | My guest today is author Houston Craft. |
| 1:00.0 | Houston is the co-founder and CEO of Character Strong and also the author of the book |

| 1:21.1 | Houston. That feels increasingly true, doesn't it? Well, thank you for being here with me. And maybe we could begin |
| 1:30.4 | just by talking, if it's okay, a little bit about your journey into being an expert on the |
| 1:39.4 | subject of kindness. I must hear the story. Where did this come from? Yeah, an ongoing journey for sure. |
| 1:46.5 | Expertise is growing. I hope with every day. But I've just been talking about it for a long time. |
| 1:51.8 | I've been working primarily in education. The slightly longer version of a kind of very long story. I suppose it's the story in my life, |
| 2:02.6 | but it started in high school when some friends and I got together and we started a club |
| 2:08.2 | called Random Acts of Kindness, etc. And we met every week and we talked about kindness and why it was |
| 2:14.1 | important and why the world needed more of it. And we put a huge focus on |
| 2:17.8 | the sort of the practical side of it. It's like if we believe this thing's important, how do we go out and do it well? |
| 2:23.2 | And there's only two rules, only two rules to the club. Every week we had to meet someone new |
