For most of us, gratitude comes easy when things are going well. But putting it into practice when life throws you a curve ball is another story.
On Gratitude: The Essential Practice for Happiness and Fulfillment, cultural anthropologist and educator Angeles Arrien shows you how to cultivate the power of deep appreciation so that it becomes a way of life—simply and naturally.
Integrating the newest social science research with stories, prayers, insights, and practices from cultures and traditions spanning the world, Arrien gives you the time-tested wisdom to help you master the art of giving thanks, every day. Gratitude invites you to explore:
How to overcome habitual tendencies toward envy, comparison, and narcissismThe top 10 practices for remaining grateful, including keeping a gratitude journal, "remembering the bad to appreciate the good," and regularly writing notes and letters of thanksNaikan—the Japanese Buddhist practice of intensely meditating on your interconnections to develop a steady flow of gratitude in relationshipsIndigenous teachings about using daydreams and wishes to create a spirit of healing and blessing
Recent studies have shown that a daily gratitude practice can significantly change your life, improving sleep, overall energy, and emotional well-being.
