Digital Kindness: Being Human in a Hyper-Connected World

Our world needs kindness right now. Social media is flooded with anger, frustration, fear, despair, and negativity. Technology allows us to interact instantly, but people feel ignored, unheard, misunderstood, discouraged, alone. What if we choose to change that? What if we use digital media to connect, build relationships, and better understand our fellow human beings? What if we use it to build a better world? This book presents a proactive approach to digital kindness, guiding the reader on a personalized journey toward purposeful digital engagement in a digitally networked world.

Digital Kindness Journal: A Year of Guided Reflections for Compassionate Social Media Use

Designed as a standalone guided journal experience this journal can also be used as a companion for Digital Kindness. It includes more than 50 prompts to help you think about your social media use and how it impacts you and others, 30 days (one month) of daily guided digital kindness reflections, a template for designing your personal digital kindness plan, and 48 weeks of guided digital kindness practice and reflections to solidify habits. Combined, the sections in this journal guide you through one full year of digital kindness activities, empowering you to create an uplifting digital experience for yourself and everyone you interact with online.

Digital Grace: Pouring Benevolence into an Outraged World

Outrage abounds in digital spaces, causing deep rifts in our friendships, families, and communities. Our inability to converse productively online makes it more difficult to build a better world together. Digital grace diffuses the indignity pulsing through social media networks. It empowers us to approach online interactions with an attitude of giving rather than taking, welcoming rather than rejecting, and forgiving rather than resenting. This book guides the reader through a personal journey of considering when, and how, to grant grace in social media spaces.
