ORDINARY MAGIC The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts

The author's gentle speaking voice and relaxed pacing are perfect vehicles for the wisdom and altruistic intentions of this exceptional audiobook. With fascinating research findings, moving stories, and impressive insights, the Stanford professor describes small interventions that can help people feel more worthwhile, productive, and supported by their communities. The kindness in Walton's tone matches his sensitivity to the challenges faced by disrespected minorities, third-world societies, and underprivileged students--all people whose lives can be immeasurably improved by small changes in how they are spoken to and regarded. As he also addresses problems ordinary Americans face, such as performance anxiety and relationship issues, Walton's sensitivity to the human condition makes this as inspirational as it is useful.
