The world can be an unkind place, especially one that is still reeling from the effects of a global pandemic where mental health issues abound at an unprecedented rate. Deep Kindness (Kraft, 2020) assists the reader in understanding the complexity, challenge, and intentionality of being truly and deeply kind. He creates awareness for his readers that kindness takes practice and requires the skills of empathy, perspective-taking, resilience, vulnerability, forgiveness, emotional regulation, and intersectional thinking. Each chapter begins with stories, insights, and questions for critical self-reflection and ends with suggestions for growing authentically in each skill area. This entire work resonates with the message that “meaningful kindness is generated from the hard work of meaningful connection” (Kraft, 2020, p. 141). This book is an exceptional resource for High School and Higher Ed counselors to assist youth and adults with critical reflections and tools for developing self and other awareness and professional and personal identities. The entire book or individual chapters can be applied during individual counseling for skill building or group counseling sessions on social and emotional development. Counselor educators might utilize this as a reflective tool when teaching fundamental counseling courses. The reviewer read portions of this book while teaching an Intercultural Counseling class which led to emotional and impactful class discussions. These discussions allowed the class and instructor to put labels and political agendas aside to speak about unkind life events experienced, what was learned from them, and how to move forward with a nonjudgmental and growth mindset stance as counseling professionals.
