Living as if each day is a thank you can help transform fear into courage, anger into forgiveness, and isolation into belonging. Authors Nina Lesowitz and Mary Beth Sammons present a simple yet comprehensive approach for incorporating gratitude into one’s life and reaping its many benefits. The book is divided into ten chapters, including Ways to Stay Thankful in Difficult Times, Gratitude as a Spiritual Practice, and Putting Gratitude into Action. Each chapter includes stories of individuals whose lives have been transformed by thankfulness, motivational quotes and blessings, and suggested gratitude practices.
