KINDNESS DIARIES Acts of Kindness Making Comeback
Is Kindness Making a Comeback?
In his wonderful book THE KINDNESS DIARIES: One Man’s Quest to Ignite Good Will and Transform Lives Around the World, author Leon Logothetis writes, just a few pages in:
“…and then I saw him. He was sitting by an over-packed grocery cart with a dirty baseball cap on his head, torn jeans, and a grime-stained face. But in his hands, the homeless man held a sign that stopped me dead in my tracks…
“It said, KINDNESS IS THE BEST MEDICINE.”
And so began Leon’s journey of the soul of “connecting with people through the language of kindness.”
It’s a purely heartfelt journey. Dangerous. Frightening. Exciting. Fulfilling. Moments of human connection that celebrates us at our best. In this book, Leon takes us into unknown places in our world, sometimes ordinary, sometimes squalid, and introduces us to men, women and children worth knowing.
It’s a journey that touches the heart.
And now the book’s been adapted to Netflix.
“KINDNESS DIARIES Now on Netflix!”
The news about the video adaptation came out through PR Newswire in February: “Leon Logothetis, global adventurer, motivational speaker, philanthropist, author and host of National Geographic’s hit series ‘Amazing Adventures of a Nobody,’ announces the streaming version of his best-selling book THE KINDNESS DIARIES on Netflix.”
The press release continued, “In this 13-part series, Logothetis lives his mission of giving back to those who gave of themselves — be prepared to be truly awed and inspired.”
Who is Leon Logothetis and why does he have a Netflix show? What is his story and why is it significant?
Logothetis had it all — prestigious job, money, a home, a beautiful girlfriend and a friendly dog. But he traded it all in to live his dreams.
His inner rebel, the part of him that yearns to follow his dreams, once again wanted to feel the magic of the human experience by connecting with people through the language of kindness. This is what prompted him to travel the world relying solely on the kindness and generosity of strangers. And now, he is giving back.
“I have always had a passion for interacting with people,” explained Logothetis.
“I love the camaraderie of making new friends and helping those that are deserving, and I treasure the adventure of travel.”
On the video version, you can watch Leon’s travels around the world on his yellow motorbike Kindness One.
He relies entirely on the kindness of strangers and give back to unsuspecting good Samaritans along the way.
During the trip, Leon discovers that being ‘seen’ is the most powerful gift people can give others.
The show is about sharing compassion and empathy with others. It’s about smiling at the world and seeing what happens when the world smiles right back at you.
During his six-month global adventure, Leon traveled to 20 countries with no food or pre-planned accommodations.
Leon discovered that people are so open to helping those in need; all one must do is open their heart.
For example, in Pittsburgh, he met a homeless man named Tony who had nothing but a bag of clothes. He took Leon in, fed him, gave him a place to stay and protected him through the night. The experience will forever live in Leon’s heart. If a man with nothing could give so much from his heart how could he ever repay him? You’ll have to watch the show to find out!
“We hear about all the negative things happening out there,” said Leon
“But there is so much kindness out there as well that we don’t ever hear about.”
The Kindness Diaries Netflix series “proves that the magic of kindness is what makes the world go around and that kindness never goes out of style. It demonstrates that true wealth is in our hearts, not in our wallets.”
The Kindness Diaries Netflix series shows you how Leon gave back to those who have little or nothing and have made sacrifices to help a neighbor, friend or the community.
The Kindness Diaries not only lends support and hope to those that are deserving and in need, but it also gives them back something far more valuable — that feel-good disposition and rewarding self-esteem. The series will lift your spirits and bring you hope — maybe even inspire you to perform small acts of kindness that may literally change someone’s life.

IS Kindness making a Comeback?
It never left, of course.
The real point is that our mass media have concentrated on the darkness and the madness of the world. TV News thrives on it. Somewhere in there (I’m not sure when) our news outlets even began adding Music to it’s coverages. Deep, throbbing musical scores — just as they go to commercial — playing against the overheated collages of destruction, flashing police lights and crowds of panicked civilians running away in terror.
This has gone on for so long that we’ve almost forgotten everything else.
So Leon Logothetis’ books and videos almost surprise us with their heartwarming stories and images. Even though they are so fundamentally Human.
