Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Deep Kindness
Houston Kraft · 2020
🎙 Narrated by Houston Kraft (author-narrated)
81/100
👍 Worth It
Penny here — Houston Kraft backs up his 'just be kind' skepticism with real, actionable practices instead of empty slogans, and Publishers Weekly rightly praised his witty, doable nudges. It does get a touch preachy toward the end once it shifts into pure how-to mode, but the author-narrated delivery keeps it personal and worth the listen.

▶ Listen to a sample
🎙 Narration: good Author-narrated edition from Simon & Schuster Audio; direct, personal delivery consistent with the anecdote-driven style, though no independent performance reviews were found.
