This is a very concrete journey through gratitude.

I am a bit disappointed that electricity remains invisible despite the important role it plays. His thank yous spread a wide net and he discusses climate change more than once, but electricity generation is not discussed.

Perhaps A.J. Jacobs misread "gratitude journal" (a common thing nowadays) as "gratitude journey". Thus the idea for this book was born - and a pretty good book at that.

Just a short book that makes you think about things differently! Worth a read!

This novella from AJ Jacobs falls short of his other work. His best writing is when he is integrating events in his life with whatever crazy mission he is on. This is a fairly cut and dry journalist piece on how coffee is delivered to you. While there is some of his trademark humor it is fairly sparse. Entire thing takes only a few hours to read and then was placed in a tiny library.

Short and sweet, but probably would’ve just been better left as a Ted Talk.
