Attitudes of Gratitude: How to Give and Receive Joy Every Day of Your Life

“This little book is an elixir for the soul . . . we can change our lives by changing our thoughts—what a miracle!” —Kathy Freston, New York Times–bestselling author of Quantum Wellness In Attitudes of Gratitude, M. J. Ryan teaches readers how to unlock the fullness of their hearts and lives through the expression of gratitude. “Gratitude helps us to return to our natural state of joyfulness,” she writes, “where we notice what’s right instead of what’s wrong. It makes us feel complete, that we have everything we need, at least in this moment.” In her introduction to this 10th anniversary edition, Ryan recounts current research that bolsters her original thinking—people who practice gratitude on a daily basis are, by and large, happier, healthier, and more effective in the world. She also shares with readers brand new, top-10 gratitude practices, which readers of the first edition and people she’s taught and counseled over the years have provided to her. The concept of this book is very simple and very profound: “Gratitude creates happiness.” It’s a fact of life (and science as it turns out). “This inspiring book shows us how to rejoice in what we have . . . Ryan graciously shows that if we’re going to ‘have an attitude,’ gratitude is the right one.” —Paul Pearsall, PhD, New York Times-bestselling author of The Heart’s Code “Exquisitely reconnects us to the wonder and satisfaction that can be found in our daily lives.” —Judy Ford, author of Wonderful Ways to Love a Teen
