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

They sent me the wrong book...or is it the cover changed? Doesn't look as interesting.

A lot has been said about having a "positive attitude," but this is one of the first books I have read that actually shows you how to accomplish this and experience life as a series of everyday miracles. I love this book and have given it as a gift several times. A must read.

I love this book more than any other that I own. The reason is that I read one passage every night before I go to sleep and it gives me so much to think about in improving my life. I limit myself to reading only one per night so that I can concentrate on the points of the particular essay of the night. I am almost to the end of the book and plan to begin rereading it and continuing to do so until I have the messages embedded in my brain and heart!!! This book is for everyone--I recommend you buy more than one copy and give them as gifts because I don't think you'll want to lend your copy out!!!

This book actually succeeded in changing the way I view my life. I started reading a small section of the book every day at my desk before I started the day along with keeping a daily journal and over the course of a few months, I have found that I get so much more joy out of life. I notice and appreciate beauty that has always been surrounding me, but that I've never taken note of before.It's wonderful and I recommend it to everyone. It makes a great gift, too! (especially for someone who always seems to see the glass as half empty!) What's better than the gift of joy?

Talk about personal feng shui! Read this book it shows you how to give in abundance. It will instruct you how to place your thoughts and actions in line with the universal laws of love, gratitude and forgiveness. I loved it. Thanks again MJ Ryan.... from the angel in Tucson.

I really appreciate this book because it gives an honest realistic way of cultivating gratitude in one's life. The author comes from a very driven, competetive mindset and shares her gentle awakening into the joys of living apart from "achieving". I respect her view more than I would someone who wrote from a "Pollyanna" point of view. Nothing worse than feeling guilty about not being grateful enough! The book is spiritually based and emphasizes acceptance. I read a page after my meditation in the morning. Great stuff!!
