Synopsis

In his first book, Thanks, Robert Emmons explored the science of the emotions and of gratitude drawn from psychology, neuroscience, self-help and philosophy. But readers wanted more--they wanted answers to the question of how, exactly, gratitude can be cultivated as a way of life. Gratitude Works! shows readers the best practices to foster gratitude. This book will reveal how dramatic advances in science have turned from does gratitude work to  how do we get more of it? This exciting new book explores these evidence-based practices in a compelling and accessible way and provides a step-by-step guide that offers the tools to help people cultivate gratitude in their lives. As with Thanks, this new book will discuss religious, philosophical and spiritual traditions in detail and reveal how some of the greatest insights of science validate the ideas that the greatest religious leaders have propounded for centuries

Goodreads review by Kim on February 04, 2015

I found this to be a great book. A couple of Conferences ago, President Uchtdorf talked about being grateful -- not being grateful FOR something, just being grateful. I wasn't sure how to go about what he was saying. This book has some really good ideas. My only complaint is that I was listening to i......more

Goodreads review by Brian on October 26, 2023

I consider myself a reasonably grateful guy but this book has opened my eyes to JUST how powerful gratitude is. “Because it is a virtue, gratitude, at least initially, requires mental discipline. Virtues do not come easily, and in some sense, we need them as they act as a counterpart to our natural t......more

Goodreads review by Karel on June 11, 2019

A 21 day practical program for implementing the suggestions in his book from 7 years prior. Spoiler: it will take more than 21 days, but will be so well worth the effort and journey. The plan itself is simple, and the questions/checklists appear carefully designed, dripping with life wisdom. Emmons......more

Goodreads review by James on September 07, 2024

Excessively long portion of the book is on the research of gratitude even though the research is a bit shoddy and tangential. I however do believe in the power of gratitude. I would recommend reading the first chapter, then the last chapter (where the 21 day program is) and subsequently any chapters......more
