It's not a magical solution to your life. It's just a way to get you thinking positive and to be grateful for everything you have. It stresses the power of being grateful. To write down things you are thankful for so you don't lose yourself in the negative aspects of your life.

As with the other books, this obv has its issues but i love it for the feeling it gives me and rating them always feels weird
It was an ok read. Very much like previous book by Rhonda Byrne "The Secret", just using different words.
Excellent, practical steps to raise your gratitude levels. It was challenging and I didnât do perfect. I did learn some great practices to level up in gratitude.
Este es el tipo de libro que no puede evaluarse de manera literaria, pero como mínimo digo que si se hace... pone de buen humor :)
A colleague recommended this book. It has some great ideas about practicing gratitude daily.
I was skeptical, but this actually wasn't that bad, if you have the patience for the repetition of the points and the Preacher's Wife kind of voice. Gets a little funny when she goes on about sprinkling around Magic Dust, but yes, I get the idea. It's easy to say "This book was 200 pages too long. Basically, Be Grateful", but I understand how the examples and anecdotes can really help work the message in, so it becomes a habit.
My takeaway: Thank people, and be sincere and specific about it. Be aware of the origins of your food and be thankful about all the effort that went into it until it reached your table. Start every morning expecting it to be a good day, and, because you're habitually looking on the bright side of things, even when bad things happen, it will be a good day. Before going to bed, review your day and think of the best thing that happened. Makes you realize your day wasn't completely bad after all. Changing your perspective does wonders for your mood.
So far I can get on board with those things. But the part where your mind could actually improve your physical health... eh. But then again the placebo effect is powerful.

I found this book to be incredibly hokey. Really, it was repetitive, and cheesy, and I had to force myself to finish it.
Nevertheless, Byrne is on to something important in this book, and I found that making myself slog through it helped me to get in touch with the power of gratitude to transform my experience of life.
I gave up on the exercises early on as they were time consuming and difficult to fit into my already packed life. However, just reading a chapter or three every day or so had a strong impact on my use of gratitude and my recognition for all that is right in my world. When we remember to be grateful, both verbally and energetically, we change our perspective from one of lack to one of bounty. This helps us to feel better, and according to Byrne, helps us to invoke all the good we can imagine.
I haven't manifested anything massive through these practices (yet) but I have to admit that I feel better, and I am noticing all the good that does come my way with clearer vision. Hot running water coming out of the tap. My general good health. A refrigerator. A car that runs. A house with room for all. This computer I type at. The information well that is the internet. My eyes, my hands, my ears. My family. A better job prospect and new opportunities that I had never before thought possible. Every single day, I give thanks for these blessings and more. And you know what? I do feel better. And things are looking up. Or at least, I am.
