The Goodness Game: Make the World Better and Feel Awesome While Doing It by Bryan D. Driscoll offers a refreshing approach to self-help, emphasizing the power of small acts of kindness. Driscoll's journey began with a life-changing encounter in Orlando, where a stranger's simple act of generosity altered his perspective on the world. This personal story is the foundation of his message: even the smallest gestures, like offering a smile or saying a kind word, can profoundly impact both the giver and the receiver, making readers feel that their efforts, no matter how small, are significant.
The book provides practical advice and examples to inspire readers to incorporate kindness into their daily lives. Bryan D. Driscoll takes a gamified approach, making spreading goodness fun and approachable by breaking it into manageable, engaging steps. He even includes tools to help readers identify their unique “helping style” and track their progress, reinforcing that acts of kindness can be as simple as offering a smile or saying a kind word. The Goodness Game transforms kindness into a shared experience, making it perfect for individuals, families, and groups. Driscoll's message is clear: you don’t need to make grand gestures to make a difference—small, thoughtful actions are enough to create a ripple effect of joy. Driscoll didn’t need grand prose to make a difference; The Goodness Game is a short but powerful read. It encourages readers to find success in life through the simple act of everyday kindness. Young adults on up will appreciate the kindness Driscoll shares.
