"The test of all happiness,” said G.K. Chesterton, “is gratitude."

Learning to experience gratitude involves being grateful as an attitude, not as a reaction when good things occur. To be grateful, one does not need to wait until things are perfect. In fact, practicing gratitude makes one receptive to life's blessings, and these blessings continue as we continue to be thankful.

In one study, described by author Robert Emmons, participants who wrote about five things for which they were grateful experienced more positive emotional states and were more likely to help others over a period of ten weeks than were participants who wrote about the hassles and stressors they experienced during the same time.

"Love wholeheartedly,” says Brother David Steindl-Rast, “be surprised, give thanks and praise—then you will discover the fullness of your life."

Gratitude provides gifts to both the giver and the receiver, and this illuminating book will inspire readers to recognize just how truly blessed we are.

About the Author


Robert A. Emmons, PhD, is professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, where he has taught for the past thirteen years.

He is the author of over sixty research articles and book chapters. His most recent book is the Psychology of Ultimate Concerns: Motivation and Spirituality in Personality.

Joanna Hill received her MA in religious studies from the Academy of the New Church Theological School in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, where she currently resides.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Little Book - A Bit Eurocentric, but Good- A Great Stocking Stuffer!
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2014

I fine little book on Gratitude. I purchased it in the hopes that it would lead me to other resources for my research on Gratitude, and it has done that, to some extent, but I would not recommend that anyone else buy this book for that reason alone, it does not pretend to be a scholarly book, even though it is written by a PhD and Professor of Psychology. Many of the quotes on gratitude are from Judeo-Christian sources, some famous authors, and a great many people I have never heard of.

I'd say this book really shines as a way to start a conversation on Gratitude. It is small enough that it would make a great gift, and I am likely to buy several copies in the future just for that reason. There are some neat little gratitude exercises like journaling and praying.

Someone would really appreciate getting this as an unobtrusive gift during the holidays.
