This book was received as an ARC from HarperCollins Leadership in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I always knew there was power in positivity but I never knew the power of kindness and how it can be an effective business tool. I loved how Adrienne shared her story and how personal she got with it. She owes a lot of her success to how Kind she treated guests, how much she respected her superiors whether or not she agreed with their direction and despite the image of the guest and the perceptions the media creates for people, she always kept an open mind and let the guests do the talking developing their own perceptions. After reading this book, I got a more information on overcoming adversity and that little voice in my head and the power of kindness and how it can advance your career and your life.

We will consider adding this title to our Self-Help collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for my ARC copy of this book. It was published June 9, 2020.

I was not familiar with this author / journalist prior to getting the audio book, but I just loved the title.

I keep hearing “when you can be anything, be kind.” Now more than ever as our world is in such conflict. Basically the author’s message is Be Kind. Kindness begets kindness.

She shared numerous stories where an act of kindness set a chain of events in motion that even came back to her in some way. I especially liked the stories about the mascara and brussel sprouts.

This book is about how being kind can unexpectedly open up doors for you. I watch Good Morning America and was a little disappointed that Adrienne’s personality didn’t shine through. I felt like it was an impersonal book.

This was a bright and positive entry into the business and self help book world. Though there was nothing groundbreaking here, it was a good reminder of the power of a very simple act. The book was well laid out and easy to follow, I very much appreciated the personal stories and examples used as illustrations of the principles she espoused.

In Your Hidden Superpower, Adrienne shares stories about the power of kindness and how it can open doors. Kindness is something understood throughout cultures and can connect you with others in various ways. A few statements below from the book pretty much summerises what the book is about:

Kindness is a lifestyle.

Kindness shines a spotlight on others without diminishing our own brightness.

Kindness is a state of being.

Overall this book is just meh. It doesn't really say anything we don't already know and it doesn't go very deep. This is a quick read and I think some people will enjoy it.

Thanks to NetGally for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
