Description
Gratitude is, first and foremost, a way of seeing that alters our gaze.
Gratitude is the simple, scientifically proven way to increase happiness and encourage greater joy, love, peace, and optimism into our lives. It's not just good medicine, a nice sentiment, a warm fuzzy feeling, or a strategy or tactic for being happier or healthier. It is also the truest approach to life. We did not create or fashion ourselves, and we did not get to where we are in life by ourselves.
Living gratefully begins with affirming the good and recognising its sources. It is the understanding that life owes you nothing and all the good you have is a gift, accompanied by an awareness that nothing can be taken for granted.
Featuring beautiful illustrations and simple exercises, this is the perfect little book to help you:
- Practice gratitude
- Improve your health and wellbeing
- Enhance your relationships
- Encourage healthy sleep
- Heighten feelings of connectedness
The Little Book of Gratitude by Dr Robert A Emmons PhD is an essential guide to living a grateful life.
