In celebration of Random Acts of Kindness Week, Born This Way Foundation hosted a Twitter chat this week with our President and co-founder, Cynthia Germanotta (@momgerm), and Dr. David Hamilton (@DrDRHamilton), an authority on kindness and its many benefits. In case you missed it, here are a few highlights!

Thank you to Dr. Hamilton, Cynthia, and all of you for sharing your experiences and knowledge on the power of kindness. As Dr. Hamilton writes in his guest post, being kind isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for you!

Check out the whole #KindnessChat and stay tuned for more conversations on kindness, bravery, and the science behind both!
