Thanks to Lisha Samuel of Wunderkind PR, I am giving away one print copy of ‘Human Kind ‘by Brad Aronson.

Description Human Kind by Brad Aronson


Changing the World One Small Act At a Time

HumanKind is the heartwarming feel-good book that we all need right now.

Brad Aronson’s life changed in an instant when his wife, Mia, was diagnosed with leukemia. After her diagnosis, Brad spent most of the next two and a half years either by her side as she received treatment or trying to shield their five-year-old son, Jack, from the worst of Mia’s illness. Amid the stress and despair of waiting for the treatment to work, Brad and Mia were met by an outpouring of kindness from friends, family and even complete strangers.

Inspired by the many demonstrations of “humankindness” that supported their family through Mia’s recovery, Brad began writing about the people who rescued his family from that dark time, often with the smallest of gestures. But he didn’t stop there. Knowing that simple acts of kindness transform lives across the globe every day, he sought out these stories and shares some of the best ones here.

In HumanKind, you’ll meet the mentor who changed a child’s life with a single lesson in shoe tying, the six-year-old who launched a global kindness movement, the band of seamstress grandmothers who mend clothes for homeless people, and many other heroes.

Brad also provides dozens of ways you can make a difference through the simplest words and deeds. You’ll discover how buying someone a meal or sharing a little encouragement at the right time can change someone’s world, as well as your own.

The resource section at the back of the book provides guidance and organizations that will help you channel and amplify your own acts of kindness. Here you’ll discover:

  • How you can fund a surgery to cure someone’s blindness with a donation of less than $200.
  • Organizations through which you can provide a birthday gift for a child who otherwise wouldn’t receive one.
  • Multiple places where you can send letters of encouragement to support hospitalized kids, lonely seniors, refugees, veterans and others in need.
  • And over fifty more ways you can change a life.

HumanKind will leave you grateful for what you have and provide a refuge from the negativity that surrounds us. This feel-good book will touch your heart. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll be reminded of what really matters.

All author royalties go to Big Brothers Big Sisters.

About Brad AronsonHuman Kind by Brad Aronson


Brad Aronson is a husband and a dad, and when he’s holding the parenting reins, he likes to go all out. For him, that means leading an egg drop competition from the third-floor window of his family’s home or coaching indoor games of baseball and hockey, and then having to explain why something else is now in pieces. Luckily, his wife Mia is understanding. Brad Aronson started i-FRONTIER after college, which grew from a small apartment he shared with his best friend into one of the largest and top rated digital ad agencies in the US.

Today, he invests in startup companies and spends most of his time supporting youth nonprofits. Much of this time is spent teaching entrepreneurship in Camden, N.J., and volunteering on the nonprofit boards of Big Brothers Big Sisters and Hopeworks. Using his business background, Aronson teaches inner city students entrepreneurship in order to instill self-confidence, discipline, and hustle. He believes in a hands-on learning environment so each student starts their own business in class, which has led to many adventures in entrepreneurship.

Building Mountains From Dust

Description Building Mountains From Dust by Kimberly Young


Like ‘When Breath Becomes Air’ by Paul Kalanithi and Abraham Verghese, ‘Building Mountains from Dust’, award winning author, Kimberly Young shares her story of survival and inspiration. At fifty, Kimberly’s structured, organized, and driven life is thrown into a tailspin when she is diagnosed with advanced staged lung cancer.

Never a smoker, Kimberly makes frank reflections about her decision not to have children, and how she makes peace with her mother, who abandoned her over fifteen years ago. This is a story about heart-wrenching life lessons, forgiveness, and about finding faith, as in a tragic twist of fate; Kimberly survives her cancer when her husband of twenty years suddenly dies.


My Thoughts Building Mountains from Dust by Kimberly S. Young


Dr. Kimberly Young is a 50 year old woman who lives a pretty healthy life style.  She eats well and works out.  She doesn’t smoke and only drinks an occasional glass of wine. Yet, she has a nagging cough.  She goes to see her doctor and finds out she has lung cancer.  She is stunned! Her husband “Jim is 20 years older and the one with health issues, not her”, she thinks to herself.

She finds out the cancer is in her lymph nodes and that makes her a candidate for chemo, not surgery.  She wishes they could just cut it out of her.  They will see if surgery is an option after the chemo.  First they need to get the cancer down to a more manageable size.  Luckily, Kimberly’s husband and close friends rally around her and help her keep a positive attitude.  They rally her to fight and she gears up for battle.

After the chemo the cancer has shrunk but Jim dyes soon after that.  Now she is on her own to continue her battle.  However, her friends still rally.

Kimberly Young is a professor in psychology at a university and specializes in internet addiction.  Her colleagues and boss are also very supportive and she is able to take the time she needs for treatments and being sick from the treatments. 

Dr. Young as proven herself as a great writer with her numerous books on net addiction as well as a beautifully written work of fiction titled, ‘The Eight Wonder’.  I had the pleasure of reading it when it was published. ‘Building Mountains From Dust’ is another testament to her excellent writing skills, her strength of character, courage and how she can inspire people.  She will not “go gently into the goodnight!” She is a warrior!  I highly recommend ‘Building Mountains From Dust’ to anyone who likes a great read as well as those battling health issues or their friends and family!

5/5

Praise Eighth Wonder by Kimberly S. Young

“The more I read, the more I couldn’t put the book down. As the story unfolded, so did the wonder of life and all of the tricks that it plays on us.
This book is a story about life, love, loss, heartbreak, and moving forward. How we sometimes sleepwalk through life focused on superficial goals rather than our hearts desire; and how we sometimes find love and comfort in the most unlikeliest of places.
The characters were well developed and the story line was unique. When you finish the very last word on the very last page, you feel as though life has completed its circle.”-Donna McBroom-Theriot, My life One Story At A Time

“The Eighth Wonder is an emotional, heart-tugging journey into the lives of two people, Nicole and Tom.  Both from different walks of life, it’s fate when their lives intersect.  It’s not a happy journey at first, for either of them.
Told through flashbacks in both perspectives, the writing is lyrical, yet poignant.  Young has created memorable, realistic characters that really touch an emotional chord on a tiered level.  Life is full of choices, and the output of those choices will change not only your life, but others around you.  A unique love story with a surprising ending, The Eighth Wonder is an emotionally charged read!”-Minding Spot

“A Forbidden love story written with compassion and sincerity.”-Lynelle Clark, Inspire To Read

“Kimberly Young has constructed an amazing first novel about unexpected love and the strange chemistry of May-November romances. This is no bodice-ripper or sappy saga of moonstruck entrancement.  Her characters are deep, and the reader roots for them.” – John M. Hanchette, Pulitzer Prize-winner and St. Bonaventure University journalism professor
