The Kindness Test
Claudia Hammond and guests discuss what kindness really means. What happens in our brains when we act kindly? Is there a role for it in the worlds of business and politics?
When was the last time you did something really kind for someone or someone else did something really kind for you?
In the Kindness Test Claudia Hammond and guests are looking at the place of kindness in today鈥檚 world, asking what it really means, what happens in our brains when we act kindly and whether there can ever be a role for it in the cut-throat worlds of business and politics.
And with many aspects of kindness remaining under-researched, with your help Claudia will be asking you to fill in the gaps by taking part in the Kindness Test.
