A transcription of Saunder's graduation speech on the importance of being kind. While it's a simple concept, I love the way he empathizes how valuable kindness is. This is also a very short read- under 60 pages and few words per page. ( )

Discorso di Saunders pronunciato di fronte agli studenti della Syracuse University. Idee condivisibili, nulla di particolarmente memorabile. ( )

Four stars for the message: be kind.

Two stars for the format. It's a short speech with art occupying half of the pages. It took me longer to pick up the book and check out the book than to actually read the book. ( )

Let's be honest. This is a commencement speech, a few thousand words at best, so stretching it out into a book is a reach. Except that it is perfect as a gift to remind a graduate, a loved one, or one's self what is truly important. George Saunders shares his personal insight on how our most missed opportunities in life are not ones wherein we might have gained more wealth or glory, but when we might have done an active kindness for someone and, instead, remained complacent.

It takes fifteen minutes to read, and a lifetime to feel like you're getting it right. That's how the most pithy and powerful wisdom works: easy to absorb, challenging to enact. I am grateful for the reminder from one of my new favorite writers. It's the perfect book to buy for someone else...or buy for oneself and then pass it along, hoping it goes through many hands and pierces many hearts on its journey. ( )

A sweet little book on kindness and moving on and up in life.

This is quite short, so I won't really give it away, it seems to be a graduation speech for a college in New York. It's worth a read, there's a little life philosophy and a nice overall message. ( )
