About the Book
Our Future Is Kind: The Ultimate Guide to Making a Difference is a collaborative book that brings together 25 mission-driven leaders, educators, innovators, entrepreneurs, and changemakers to share future-focused visions and practical kindness strategies readers can use immediately.
Led by futurist and keynote speaker Michael G. Neece and published by Brave Healer Productions, this book is both a declaration and a blueprint: the future doesn't happen to us — it is built by us.
Each chapter opens with a personal story revealing why its author cares about building deeper human connection, then delivers clear, actionable strategies for overcoming the everyday cruelties and disconnection that show up in modern life — in workplaces, classrooms, communities, healthcare systems, and organizations.
If the world feels broken, this book is the antidote. With practical strategies for building a future on the foundation of kindness, readers gain the tools to rise above the noise, claim their power, and make a real difference.
The future doesn't happen to us. It's built by us.

LearnKind helps students develop the essential human skills our future depends on: kindness, empathy, curiosity, connection, and emotional well-being.

Additional Thoughts About This Book and Future Volumes
Our Future Is Kind brings together 25 authors from 8 countries across 4 continents, and from a variety of experiences and backgrounds. Kindness connects all people across ages, religions, borders, orientation, and more, and this first volume is where that conversation begins.
Most of our authors are women, and we don't see that as an accident. If a kind future calls for a different kind of leadership, it makes sense that it starts here. We also know this volume doesn't yet include voices from Africa, the Middle East, or Indigenous communities, among others.
No effort to change the public conversation is ever perfect, and that's no reason not to begin. In next year's volume, and those beyond it, we aim to bring in voices from every background in every part of the world. If you represent an area we haven't yet encompassed or know a strong contributor from such an area, raise your hand or nominate them! The conversation about what a kind future means is ongoing, and we seek the next voices who wish to join us. And we appreciate your kindness.
Write for Volume 2
Our next anthology, A Global View of What’s Next for Humanity, comes out during World Kindness Week 2027, and we want voices from every corner of the world. Interested in writing a chapter? Raise your hand and share the perspective you’d bring.
