Kindness

Kindness is a type of behavior marked by acts of generosity, consideration, rendering assistance, or concern for others, without expecting praise or reward in return.

[1] Friedrich Nietzsche considered kindness and love to be the "most curative herbs and agents in human intercourse".

[7] There are similar studies about the root of empathy in infancy[8] – with motor mirroring developing in the early months of life,[9] and leading (optimally) to the concern shown by children for their peers in distress.

[13] Further studies show that kindness interventions can help improve well-being with comparable results as teaching gratitude.

[14] Similar findings have shown that organizational level teaching of kindness can improve the well-being of adults in college.
