It is a form of recognition--a way of appreciating the kindness, beauty, and wonder that life has to offer. Gratitude increases our wish to nurture, help, and protect one another and the world we live in. It gains in strength the more we practice and share it with others, and increases our sense of belonging. When gratitude becomes a habit, we start to reap the benefits, emotionally, spiritually, and physically, while helping those around us to feel more positive too. Full of inspirational stories and practical ideas, The Power of Gratitude will encourage you to give back to yourself, as well as to others, and embrace a more joyful way of life."--Page 2 of cover ER -
