Hugh Mackay

Hugh Mackay is one of Australia's most respected social researchers, psychologists and authors, with a career spanning over sixty years of studying what makes people tick. The Kindness Revolution argues that kindness, rather than being a soft or sentimental quality, is the most powerful force available for healing social divisions, building stronger communities and creating a more compassionate society. Mackay draws on his decades of research into Australian social attitudes and behaviour to make the case that acts of kindness, however small, have profound ripple effects that can transform relationships and communities. He has written numerous bestselling books on social psychology, ethics and the human condition, including The Good Life and What Makes Us Tick. His audiobooks and books offer readers thoughtful, research-grounded perspectives on how to live well and build better communities.
