Synopsis

Gratitude and happiness go hand-in-hand -- and The Thank-You Project provides an easy-to-follow approach for creating more of both.

Who helped you become the person you are today? As Nancy Davis Kho approached a milestone birthday, she decided to answer that question by sending thank-you letters to the many people who had influenced her, helped her, and inspired her over the years: family, friends, mentors, teachers, co-workers, even a couple of former friends and exes. While her recipients always seemed genuinely pleased to read the letters, what Nancy never expected was the profound and positive effect the process would have on her. As it turns out, emerging research proves that actively appreciating the formative people in your life, past and present, can lead to a lasting increase in your happiness levels--and The Thank-you Project offers a charming, entertaining roadmap to see, say and savor your way there.

Goodreads review by Kristin on November 10, 2020

The pretty floral cover of this book caught my eye, so I checked it out from the library. Sadly, the charming cover and the flowery end papers are the best part about this book. The inside reads like an article from a women's magazine that was misguidedly stretched into a whole book. I think it shou......more

Whether or not you think you’re up for taking on a thank you letter project, this book has much to offer. It led me to reflect more deeply on the people (and places) in my life and what each gave me. It also reminded me of the power of telling the people in your life what they mean to you. Beyond th......more

Goodreads review by Shauna on January 10, 2021

2020 was a hard year that left me jaded and angry. I figured starting with a book about gratitude might just be a great way to shift my perspective for this new year. First off, I always appreciate when an author is willing be vulnerable with their reader. Kho is just the right amount of business, en......more
