About

In 2015 Alexander Walton had an idea. It was an emotional short story that he wrote, then placed in brightly coloured envelopes and randomly distributed across the city he lived in. Each one also contained a small gift: a symbol of hope. He called this project Find My Story and through the support and kindness of others, it expanded across the globe.

 

Over the next five years there were three stories in total. Hundreds of volunteers. Thousands of envelopes. And an avalanche of profound and moving responses from people who had found one of these envelopes, and had the curiosity to open it.

 

This experience was the inspiration for The Kind Mind Method and ultimately changed the author's life in ways he never could have expected. He continues to advocate kindness and positivity through his books and ongoing projects.

​

Responses from people who found one of Alexander's envelopes:

​

• “Found your story and you have no idea at what time it entered my life and the impact it had.”

• “THANK YOU for writing your story, and sending that message of hope out into the world. I'll never forget the feeling of opening it.”

• "It was the positive sign I needed not to give up..."

• "Found one of these and I'd be lying if I said I didn't break down in tears."

• “I can honestly say I have never been so taken aback. The gift inside couldn't have come at a better time for me..."
