Es ist so einfach – und hat doch eine verblüffende Wirkung: bewusst dankbar zu sein für alles, was uns an Gutem widerfährt. Die kleinen Übungen von Dr. Robert Emmons lassen uns erkennen, dass in unserem Leben viel mehr an Schönem verborgen liegt, als wir glauben. So gelingt es uns in kurzer Zeit, alles Positive wahrzunehmen, als Geschenk zu betrachten und wirklich wertzuschätzen – und dabei wie von selbst spürbar optimistischer, gesünder und glücklicher zu werden.

A purposeful guide for cultivating gratitude as a way of life Recent dramatic advances in our understanding of gratitude have changed the question from "does gratitude work?" to "how do we get more of it?" This book explores evidence-based practices in a compelling and accessible way and provides a step-by-step guide to cultivating gratitude in their lives. Gratitude Works! also shows how religious, philosophical, and spiritual traditions validate the greatest insights of science about gratitude. From Robert Emmons, the bestselling author of Thanks , comes a resource for cultivating a life of gratitude practices.

Gratitude is the simple, scientifically proven way to increase happiness and encourage greater joy, love, peace, and optimism into our lives. Through easy practices such as keeping a daily gratitude journal, writing letters of thanks, and meditating on the good we have received, we can improve our health and wellbeing, enhance our relationships, encourage healthy sleep, and heighten feelings of connectedness. Easily accessible and available to everyone, the practice of gratitude will benefit every area of your life and generate a positive ripple effect. This beautiful book discusses the benefits of gratitude and teaches easy techniques to foster gratitude every day. It also includes an 8-week gratitude plan.

A scientifically groundbreaking, eloquent look at how we benefit -- psychologically, physically, and interpersonally -- when we practice gratitude. In Thanks!, Robert Emmons draws on the first major study of the subject of gratitude, of “wanting what we have,” and shows that a systematic cultivation of this underexamined emotion can measurably change people’s lives."--
