Because actions do speak louder than words, Do Good offers thoughtful insight on reaching out, spreading cheer, showing compassion, and just lending a hand to show you care. There are no perfect words, no perfect gestures. Just be brave, be generous, be kind, and:

• Be handy. Find what's broken and fix it.


• Babysit the kids, pets, parents, plants, whatever.


• Think of a compliment and pay it.


• Mother somebody.


• Offer to make a connection—business or love.


• Ask for a specific assignment and make it your business to see it through.


• Squeeze a hand. Some moments need no words.
