Lovingkindness is the closest translation of a Bhuddist word. Salzberg discusses how you can bring this concept of kindness into your life. This is a good book.

Excellent work on metta meditation. Describes the process, offers phrases, has exercises at the end of each chapter. Very helpful for people new to metta practice.
