Undercover Kindness : Saying Yes to Love, No to Fear, and Embracing the Life-Changing Power of Ordinary Generosity

One spark of love can change everything. The social media sensation known for his viral “random act of kindness” videos invites you to discover a bigger, more meaningful existence, one act of generosity at a time.

Jimmy Darts is convinced that the most fun we can have is to spread joy and kindness with no inhibition. He travels to thrift shops, laundromats, streetcorners, and grocery stores, looking for good Samaritans willing to help a down-on-his-luck stranger—and rewarding them extravagantly when they say yes. “Most of these people have been paying it forward their whole life,” Jimmy writes, “but no one’s noticed. This is their moment. God notices. And I want to let them know.”

In Undercover Kindness, Jimmy takes us behind the scenes of his unconventional life: blessing strangers, crowdsourcing a helping hand, having adventures, making friends, and learning that the world is a kinder place than we generally believe.

Undercover Kindness is just as unconventional as Jimmy Darts himself. With a mix of unforgettable stories, thoughtful reflections, and revelations that go beyond the vignettes shown his videos, this book will help readers reignite their faith, rekindle their hope in humanity, and discover that a life of generosity can be fun, silly, unexpected, and poignant all at once.
