Introducing Volume 4 of the #1 Bestselling 365 Book Series

 

hardcoverjacket_747x1076-4We believe that we live in a world where goodness abounds. But sometimes, when you look at all the negativity and divisiveness in the news, it’s easy to feel discouraged. You might find yourself disheartened by world events, wondering what happened to the light-filled and loving universe you want to live in. What happened to all the goodness?

Well, we know that it’s still there! We know that the world is filled with light. We know that kind, loving people are everywhere. We know that GOODNESS ABOUNDS!

Now, more than ever, we feel that it’s so important to look for – and FIND and CELEBRATE – the many examples of good-hearted people expressing kindness…every day, in endless ways! That’s why we’ve created Goodness Abounds: 365 True Stories of Loving Kindness – to bear witness to the myriad examples of the goodness that surrounds us all!

This book includes 365 true stories (from over 275 contributing authors) of people expressing love, goodness, and kindness. The experiences range from huge expressions of lifelong love (such as caring for a child or aging parent with severe challenges) to small acts of kindness (such as complimenting a stranger) – all sharing one thing in common: they add to an ever-growing mountain of evidence that goodness abounds!

It’s our hope that when someone picks up this book, they can flip to any page and find a true-life story that will provide inspiration, upliftment, and encouragement to reflect upon the kindness they’ve experienced in their own life…and to be on the lookout for more!

The 365 inspiring stories of goodness shared on these pages include:

…and so much more!

jodi and danIf you’re just meeting us for the first time, we’re so happy that our paths are now connected!

We are Jodi Chapman and Dan Teck – a husband-and-wife team who loves living soulfully and joyfully.

Since 2005, we’ve been living our dream of creating products that inspire others to connect with their soul and live fully and passionately. We love the community that we’ve built – it’s filled with heart-centered souls who also focus on spreading love everywhere they go.

Jodi has a BA in English/Technical Editing and Dan has an MFA in Creative Writing. Together, we have over 30 years of experience with editing and publishing. We have sold approximately 50,000 books, and together have written 20 books, 8 ecourses, and over 1,000 blog posts/articles. Jodi blogs at her award-winning site: www.jodichapman.com. Dan blogs at his self-help site: www.halfwayupthemountain.com.

We have mentored approximately 1,000 heart-centered authors in our community, each of whom we’re truly grateful for.

 

Because we’ve each experienced so many moments of goodness in nature and with animals, we’ll be donating 5% of all profits from sales of this book to the Jane Goodall Institute. (You can learn more about this charity by going to www.janegoodall.org.)

 

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We hope you enjoy each of the pieces in this special book. We felt our own hearts expand while compiling them, and we hope that you’ll experience that while reading them. It’s our hope and belief that as we shine a light on goodness, it will grow and grow until it makes up the overwhelming majority of our experience! We certainly feel that the stories in this book show time and time again that our world hasn’t fallen apart and gone to the dark side. They show that the light still shines brightly in each of our hearts. And they show that loving kindness truly is all around us and goodness truly does abound!

Hugs and love,

jodi and dan copy
