I'm still doing research for my next book, The Kindness Experiment, which is a rare opportunity to show yourself publicly as a Good Samaritan or HERO.

I've been testing people for 13 years in various situations. Sadly, many choose to be villains even when given a second chance to redeem themselves.

Will you choose kindness over mean-spiritedness, and generosity over greed?

Or will you do what many choose to do....work against their own best interests?

Remember: It's all material for my next book, The Kindness Experiment.
