"Only Good Things Book 3 feels like a hug at the end of a hard year," says Good Things Guy Founder Brent Lindeque. "It's 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't rare — they're everywhere, every day, if we just choose to look for them."
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 — 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, says the company.
"Ten years in, I'm still blown away that South Africans continue to show up for Good Things Guy," Lindeque reflects. "What started as one simple good news story has grown into a decade of hope. And now three books filled with the best of us. I'm endlessly thankful to everyone who keeps reading, sharing and believing in the good. None of this would exist without you."
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.
These reflections highlight the emotional impact these stories have on the storytellers themselves, reinforcing the idea that choosing positivity is not avoidance — it's a form of resilience. The book also includes new photography, quotes and bite-sized "moments of good" designed to make it easy for readers to dip in, smile and reset, even on the hardest days, adds the company.
Just as its predecessors became cherished coffee-table staples, Only Good Things Book 3 continues the tradition of offering comfort, connection and a renewed sense of possibility. Wrapped in yellow — a symbol of sunshine, energy and hope — the book invites readers not just to witness the good, but to feel inspired to contribute to it, concludes the company.
