Give a stranger a real compliment

“The half-second before you speak feels like a cliff. The compliment lands in two words and then it is over.”

The Recipe

  1. Pick the next stranger whose shoes, bag or coat you actually notice: the first one you notice, not the best-dressed.
  2. Say the one specific thing you liked, then keep walking.
