A wonderful reminder that good people still exist
4.5 stars
I was unfamiliar with Upworthy prior to this book. The cheerful cover caught my attention and made me interested in reading it. With all that is going on in the world today, we are inundated with bad news. I have been doing what I can to add positivity to my day, and this book is a perfect addition! I like how the book is separated into different categories. I love the fact that it is comprised of short entries, so it is easy to pick up and read a few of them here and there throughout the day. Many of the stories focus on the kindness of strangers, which is a great reminder that there are still good people, willing to help others, in the world, even though they are often overshadowed by other events. There are some stories that do have some topics that could be possibly triggering, so readers may want to approach this with a bit of caution. Overall, this is a much needed dose of positivity in today's society. It may just remind readers the importance of taking a few minutes out of their busy schedules to be kind to others, as it often costs nothing to do so.
