Book Reviews of Words Of Gratitude Mind Body & Soul
Book Review: I am very grateful for this beautiful book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I stumbled across this beautiful, powerful book a while back while doing a paper for a counseling class. Reading this little book not only changed the topic of my paper to the power of gratitude, it has helped me in changing my own attitudes (the only things I really can change about myself) to being more grateful. I have discovered that there is no room for darkness, bitterness, jealousy, and resentment in a truly grateful heart. The question of a glass half full/half empty becomes moot when one looks at the multitude of blessings one has from having a glass with anything at all.
Summary of Words Of Gratitude Mind Body & Soul
Learning how to experience gratitude involves being grateful as a attitude, not as a reaction when good things occur. One does not need to wait until things are perfect before being grateful; in fact, it may be just the opposite. It could be that the act of being grateful, in itself, makes one receptive to life's blessings, and these blessings continue as we continue to be thankful.
The study of gratitude is one that looks at moral barometers, emotions, and the effect this feeling has on health and happiness. In fact, G. K. Chesterton said, "The test of all happiness is gratitude." Emmons draws from gratitude research projects that followed participants who were randomly selected to write down either the things they were grateful for or items of complaint over a period of ten weeks. The study showed that gratitude led to more positive emotional states and inspired people to be more helpful to others.
The act of gratitude is one that provides gifts to the giver and receiver. The illuminating words of this book will inspire readers to recognize how truly blessed we are. This has been beautifully stated by the words of Brother David Steindl-Rast, "Love wholeheartedly, be surprised, give thanks and praise?then you will discover the fullness of your life."
