Years ago Jean-Jacques Rousseau asked, "What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?".  After coming across his quote, I started to think and ask the question, "How kind am I, really?".  After reflection, I concluded there are plenty of opportunities to improve. I discuss ways we can show kindness to loved ones, strangers, pets, and wildlife. I offer suggestions about asking simple questions that can profoundly change minds and hearts of people we talk with everyday.  One key message is the importance of listening with an open mind and heart. Rather than trying to solve a problem for someone else, our quiet listening can be the biggest gift we can offer to someone else. Why? Because their problems belong to them and the solutions for their problems are waiting to be discovered by them deep within their subconscious mind. By offering a quiet, listening ear, those solutions can emerge into their conscious mind. By being kind, we truly can make this world a better place.

William Glasser, MD postulated decades ago that the two deepest needs humans have are to love and to be loved. Years after publishing his original work describing Reality Therapy, he distilled those two simple needs down to one: the need to belong. In this 4-minute audio recorded in a Barnes & Noble cafe', Stephen Carter, the CEO of Stress Solutions, LLC, expands on how we can bring Dr. Glasser's insights into reality in our own lives by sharing positive heartfelt words of approval with family, friends, co-workers and others. In sharing words of approval that tell others we love them and we are open to accept love from them, we truly do make this world a better place.
