The Good Things Guy team is proud to announce the release of Only Good Things Book 3<\/em>, the latest instalment in their beloved series celebrating the everyday kindness, courage and heart that define South Africa. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

The new \u201cyellow chapter\u201d \u2014 following the red and orange editions \u2014 arrives as a bright, uplifting antidote at the end of a difficult year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly Good Things Book 3<\/em><\/a> feels like a hug at the end of a hard year,\u201d says Good Things Guy<\/a> founder Brent Lindeque. \u201cIt\u2019s proof that even when life feels heavy, South Africans still show up with kindness, courage and an unbelievable amount of heart. This yellow chapter in our rainbow reminds us that good things aren\u2019t rare \u2014 they\u2019re everywhere, every day, if we just choose to look for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Presented as a 132-page hardcover, the book features 100 deeply human, carefully curated stories that illuminate the best of who we are. From small acts of generosity to extraordinary moments of bravery, each story captures a snapshot of South Africans quietly changing the world around them. Communities rallying together, strangers stepping up, everyday heroes doing what they can \u2014 these are the moments that define the collection and reflect the enduring spirit the Good Things Guy platform has championed for more than a decade.<\/p>\n

In addition to its well-loved story format, Book 3 includes a new selection of reflective pieces from the Good Things Guy editorial team, offering behind-the-scenes insights into the process of finding and sharing good news in a world often dominated by negativity. The book also includes new photography, quotes, and bite-sized \u201cmoments of good\u201d designed to make it easy for readers to dip in, smile, and reset, even on the hardest days.<\/p>\n

Just as its predecessors became cherished coffee-table staples, Only Good Things Book 3<\/em> continues the tradition of offering comfort, connection and a renewed sense of possibility. Wrapped in yellow \u2014 a symbol of sunshine, energy and hope \u2014 the book invites readers not just to witness the good, but to feel inspired to contribute to it.<\/p>\n

Ordering Information<\/strong><\/p>\n

Only Good Things Book 3<\/em> is available now for pre-order via the Good Things Guy website<\/a>, with delivery beginning December 2025.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re seeking a meaningful festive gift, a source of encouragement, or simply a reminder that good things are happening all around us, this new collection delivers a much-needed dose of warmth, optimism and proudly South African spirit \u2014 bound in bright, hopeful yellow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
