A Q&A session with Amanda Gilbert all about her book, Kindness Now. In this video Amanda gets personal about her intentions for writing the book, who the book is for (even who it is not for!), and her writing process. Amanda also shares her favorite thing about the book and it's not what you might think.

Kindness Now is a journey through the traditional Buddhist heart practices known as the brahma-viharas—loving-kindness, compassion, appreciative joy, and equanimity—the essential teachings for a successful meditation practice. Throughout the 28-days of guided meditation practice, you will learn to become a kinder, more compassionate, and radically loving person.

You will strengthen the basics of a mindfulness meditation practice while experiencing how heart practices guide you towards deeper transformation, personal growth, and connection to your authentic self.
