Product Description
by A. E. Howland (Author)
What if the kindness you've been taught is actually holding you back?
We live in a world that equates kindness with comfort-where telling hard truths is often seen as cruel, and avoiding discomfort is mistaken for compassion. But what if this version of kindness is the very thing preventing you, your relationships, and your leadership from reaching their full potential?
In The UnTruth of Kindness, A.E. Howland dismantles the myths we tell ourselves about kindness, revealing how avoidance disguised as compassion stifles growth, weakens leadership, and creates a culture of stagnation. Through bold insights, real-world examples, and practical exercises, this book challenges you to rethink what it truly means to be kind-and why honesty, even when uncomfortable, is the greatest gift you can offer.
What You'll Gain:
✔ How kindness, when misapplied, becomes an enabler of stagnation and self-deception
✔ Why discomfort is necessary for real growth-and how to embrace it
✔ The power of honest, constructive communication in leadership and relationships
✔ Reflection prompts and challenges that push you to take action
This isn't just another book about being "nicer"-it's an invitation to break free from the comforting lies we tell ourselves and embrace a deeper, more transformative form of kindness-one built on courage, integrity, and the willingness to speak the truth.
