Gratitude Can Make You Happier" by Dr. Robert Emmons
Description:
Gratitude, the emotion “most neglected by psychologists” has never
before been examined by scientific psychologists – until now. UC Davis teaching
professor and research scientist Dr. Robert Emmons spent eight years studying
gratitude’s effects on the mind, body and soul and found that it benefits all
three areas significantly. The eye-opening results from his experiments are
revealed in “Thanks! How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier.”
“Thanks!” argues that the secret to happiness and fulfillment lies in the
recognition that all of life is a gift. Dr. Emmons believes that with this
mindset, people can gain control of their emotional destinies. It takes readers
on a journey to discover fascinating truths about gratitude which parallel many
classic religious and philosophic principles about the nature of the good
life.
