"A fantastic read for sustainability-minded people on a mission to improve how they impact the environment and their health."—Library Journal, STARRED review“An inspiring story of a journey to a kinder lifestyle. Thanks to Carina Wohlleben for this invaluable advice on how we should endeavour to live for the sake of people, animals and the planet.”—Philip Lymbery, Global Chief Executive of Compassion in World Farming and author of Sixty Harvests Left: How to reach a nature-friendly future"Carina Wohlleben's A Kind Life takes the common-sense step of applying ethics and reason to our daily actions.

That is why they should read this book."—Glen Merzer, author, Food Is Climate and Own Your Health, podcast host“A Kind Life is not just a well-written and engaging book, it’s a blueprint for humanity, for if everyone who read A Kind Life book acted on its sage advice, the world would be a much better place.”—Gene Stone, author/co-author of Forks Over Knives, How Not to Die, Living the Farm Sanctuary Life, Animalkind, Eat for the Planet"A Kind Life takes readers on a personal journey, laying a pathway of how to live more kindly on the earth"—Keegan Kuhn, co-director of Cowspiracy"Every aspect of our lives is touched by the breadth and depth of our moral circle.
