In a world that too often glorifies competition and division, “A Book of Kindness: Inspired by Real-Life Experiences” emerges as a powerful testament to the enduring impact of empathy and compassion. Spearheaded by visionary editor Prof. Dr. Parin Somani and published by LOSD Publishing House (United Kingdom), this anthology brings together 32 real-life stories from authors across the globe whose everyday acts of kindness have transformed lives and communities. The official ISBN release is published under the London Organisation of Skills Development (LOSD), a body deeply committed to global empowerment through skill-building and humanitarian education.
The pre-launch of “A Book of Kindness” took place in the historic setting of the Houses of Parliament, London, on 10th July 2025. This memorable event was graced by MP Bob Blackman, Worshipful Mayor of Southwark Councillor Sunny Lambe, The Worshipful Mayor of Harrow Councillor Anjana Patel, HRH Prince Ebrahim of Ghana, and Prof. Dr. Parin Somani, CEO of LOSD. The pre-launch served not just as a book unveiling, but as a symbol of global unity, leadership, and shared humanity.
The grand launch followed five days later on 15th July 2025, in a magnificent Scottish castle. Hosted during a celebratory and mystical music night, the occasion radiated joy and harmony. It was officiated by Worshipful Mayor of Southwark Councillor Sunny Lambe and Prof. Dr. Parin Somani, CEO of LOSD who together heralded this project as a milestone in thought leadership and compassionate global engagement.
