Attitudes of Gratitude

Gratitude creates a powerful state of happiness because it returns us to the natural place where we notice what's right instead of what's wrong. In Attitudes of Gratitude, M. J. Ryan teaches us how to unlock the fullness of life through the expression and exercise of a grateful heart. In a series of short, easy-to-digest and evocative essays, she inspires us to discover and distill a sense of gratitude in very aspect of our lives and offers practical suggestions to help us focus on all that we have, rather than our perception of what may be lacking and explains why gratitude chases away negative emotions - and how it's possible even in times of pain and hardship. M.J. Ryan is the editorial director of Conari Press, publisher of the best-selling "Random Acts of Kindness" series. She is the author of Attitudes of Gratitude, 365 Health and Happiness Boosters, and The Giving Heart, and editor of A Grateful Heartand The Fabric of the Future. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and daughter.
