About this item
It's easy to look at others and think how lucky they are, and sometimes finding the positives in our own lives can be hard. Success is often measured in tangible ways, and as we strive to achieve more and get more, we forget that it's often the simple things that can bring us the most joy. After reading about how expressing gratitude for the little things can be incredibly powerful and affect our lives in profound ways, Janice Kaplan decided to spend a year living gratefully and find out whether being grateful really does offer a new path to happiness. Her experiences of living gratefully will be anchored by intriguing research findings, as well as in-depth interviews with real people, those in public life, and neuroscientists and experts in the field, including Dr Martin Seligman and Dr Robert Emmons, the world's leading scientific expert on gratitude.
About the Author
I spent a year living gratefully to write "The Gratitude Diaries" and I ended up having the best year of my life. I'm delighted that the book has encouraged so many others to have the best year of their life, too. My new book "The Genius of Women" has been equally thrilling for me to write. I was stunned to realize how much female potential has been lost over the years, and I hope the book will inspire women to recognize their own power going forward. I spent many years as a TV producer, creating primetime television shows for the major networks, and I also write novels about women whose lives are filled with adventures and fun. As editor in chief of Parade magazine and deputy editor of TV Guide, I met big stars and major political figures. I love bringing my experiences in these (supposedly) glamorous worlds to my readers.
