The Gratitude Diaries: How A Year Of Living Gratefully Changed My Life

Product Description

It`s easy to look at others & think how lucky they are, & sometimes finding the positives in our own lives can be hard. Success is often measured in tangible ways, & as we strive to achieve more & get more, we forget that it`s often the simple things that can bring us the most joy. After reading about how expressing gratitude for the little things can be incredibly powerful & affect our lives in profound ways, Janice Kaplan decided to spend a year living gratefully & find out whether being grateful really does offer a new path to happiness. Her experiences of living gratefully will be anchored by intriguing research findings, as well as in-depth interviews with real people, those in public life, & neuroscientists & experts in the field, including Dr Martin Seligman & Dr Robert Emmons, the world`s leading scientific expert on gratitude. Recounted with warmth & humour, this story-filled memoir will inspire readers to reflect on the true meaning of gratitude, & provide them with a structure & context for making significant changes in every aspect of their lives. For not only can gratitude make you more honest, courageous & generous; research has shown that it can also improve overall health & reduce stress & depression.
