US EditionAn expert says do something kind on World Kindness Day
Dr. Heather Hartman-Hall highlights kindness boosts serotonin and dopamine, improving mental health and social connection during a globally observed day celebrating good deeds for nearly 30 years.
- On Nov. 13, MedStar Health psychologist Dr. Heather Hartman-Hall urged simple acts of kindness to mark World Kindness Day, observed internationally Thursday.

- Krispy Kreme is joining the observance this year by offering a free original glazed dozen with any regular-priced dozen, limiting two treats per guest and using code `BOGOFREE` online.
- The day began in 1998 when the World Kindness Movement launched the international observance, which the nonprofit said highlights good deeds and has been celebrated for nearly 30 years.
