“Rebels of Kindness strikes a mindful balance of science and creativity. Ableman & Wilkenfeld spotlight leaders from every walk of life who are changing the world through compassion while providing thought-provoking narratives and practical exercises to turn inspiration into application. This counter-cultural mindset of kindness is necessary to help to create a better world.”

—Houston Kraft, Author of Deep Kindness

“Rebels of Kindness is a book I wish America and the world had many decades back. At this difficult time in our history where violence and hatred and division and mean-spiritedness have become as natural as breathing for many, it is so clear to me that what we need are different kinds of blueprints for our humanity, for our collective soul. This book, through its real-life stories, takes us on a fantastical journey of what is possible for you, me, for all of us, if we simply overstand, as we say, that kindness—and love—is a practice worth practicing every single day of our lives.”

—Kevin Powell, civil and human rights activist, poet, filmmaker, author of 16 books

“Rebels Of Kindness combines cutting-edge science, human values and joyful creativity, all with the simplicity that anyone can vibe with! This book explores all of that through the epic stories of those behind an increasingly mainstream movement toward altruism. As any post-apocalyptic meme maker or storyteller knows, we need a mainstream “reSTORYation” across all sectors. Doesn’t love, compassion and kindness seem like good places to start? Please join me in supporting the important work of Mr Ableman and Mr Wilkenfeld as they write the next pages in a more beautiful and fulfilling book of life!”

“Aaron Ableman's heart is ablaze with activism. Weaving in music, art and his infectious love for Mother Earth, Aaron joins forces with Justin Wilkenfeld to make wisdom accessible and entertaining to all ages. Rebels of Kindness is a how-to-change-the-world book, asking us each to simply stretch beyond our comforts and fears and water our own communities with more compassion. Be careful; wherever you see this book, there's a revolution afoot!”

—Jon Marro: Artist, Author & Creativity Coach

“Our dear brothers of the planet gently walk us into the lap of love. For true love is love-in-action. And this type of kindness is most accessible through a loving heart and still mind. Each story in this book gives both adults and children a chance to be moved by human goodness and then literally practice it through meditation, reflection or action. It’s a creative and inspired approach to teaching the most powerful human virtue: compassion. One story a day from Rebels of Kindness is just what your heart may want and definitely what the world needs.”
