"The Grateful Life" is a guide to discovering -- and achieving -- one's dreams by harnessing the power of a positive attitude. In years of research and practice, authors Nina Lesowitz and Mary Beth Sammons have discovered that grateful living can transform lives. Grateful people are happier people. They are healthier and less stressed. They report much higher levels of satisfaction with their relationships and are less likely to credit luck with the good fortune of others. This book contains inspiring stories about those who exercise gratitude as a spiritual practice to rise out of adversity to new life. It also shows how grateful living is central to the good life and to attracting abundance. Filled with motivational quotes, resources, and exercises, "The Grateful Life" helps readers on their journey to creating the life they've always wanted. Taking the concept of "Living Life as a Thank You" to the next level, "The Grateful Life" includes absorbing and transformative stories from real people who unveil the secret to achieving successes both big and small.

Often, just one line can turn a difficult situation around or stop trouble in its tracks:

• I decide who pushes my buttons.
• I'll forgive myself right now.
• I’m sorry if I gave you the impression you could talk to me like that.
• I understand you completely, and I would like something else.
• This isn't against you, it's for me.
