This book has the mix of science and memoir I find I really like, and I found its gratitude subject matter to be pretty uplifting.

Wonderful for making your life/perspective a more positive one!
Very interesting exploration of gratitude and its role in our lives. Yes, the author shares her own ideas and her year-long experiment with finding gratitude on a daily basis, but she also has done quite a bit of investigating the research being done with gratitude and how it affects our love life, family life, and even personal health. I'm not sure I ca. completely change my outlook as the author has, however I have been inspired to keep a daily gratitude journal, which has definitely helped me to appreciate what I have much more and with eyes wider open.

I really enjoyed this book. It was very humbling to realize how we typically react to our situations and the world around us and extremely encouraging to know that we have control over our outlook of everything and how life-changing that can be. Easy, inspirational read, great to start the new year with.
No connection whatsoever with the author. Privilege is obvious and becomes annoying in the first couple of pages... Not a lot of science either so no I didn't get hooked by it
Like most self help books, I did tab a few things to return to. A few quotes, a few action items, one bucket list idea. I will also be starting a gratitude journal. With all the health benefits described, it seems pointless not to. My biggest struggle is that, to me, this author's life was well worthy of thanks and she just didn't see it. I wish more time would have been spent on gratitude when your life isn't perfect. How can you see gratitude when all you see is darkness? I would have also liked to know how long it takes for benefits to be seen. Do you have to do it for a full year, a month, or do you see results quickly? I guess I'll find out as I start this journey. Maybe it'll be a feature on the blog I plan to have for 2023. Stay tuned.
