This month, I invite you to learn more about the science of gratitude with a fantastic book from Dr. Robert Emmons called “Thanks: How The Science Of Gratitude Can Make You Happier.” Dr. Emmons is a leader in this field and professor at UC-Davis. In this book, he looks at gratitude from multiple perspectives, including literature, psychology, religion and anthropology. He demonstrates how it contributes to emotional balance and pleasure, richer personal relationships and even greater health. Gratitude is more than a tool for self-improvement -- gratitude is a way of life. This month, learn a little more about all the ways gratitude can help improve the quality of your life and check out his 10 actions for helping cultivate more gratitude, including keeping a gratitude journal learning prayers on gratitude and taking action to experience and express appreciation for every day.
