A guide to rediscovering niceness as one of the highest of all human achievements.

Many books seek to make us richer or thinner. This book wants to help us to be nicer: less irritable, more patient, readier to listen, warmer and less prickly. Niceness may not have the immediate allure of money or fame, but it is a hugely important quality nevertheless, and one that we neglect at our peril.

• An in-depth examination of our attitudes towards the overlooked quality of niceness.
• In a time of global turmoil, this book encourages and gives practical advice on how to be kinder and more empathetic.
