Thanks! (Paperback)

A scientifically groundbreaking, eloquent look at how we
benefit -- psychologically, physically, and interpersonally -- when
we practice gratitude
Did you know that there is a crucial component of happiness that is
often overlooked? In Thanks!, Robert Emmons draws on the first
major study of the subject of gratitude, of "wanting what we have," and
shows that a systematic cultivation of this underexamined emotion can
measurably change people's lives. Readers will discover how
- People who regularly practice grateful thinking can increase their
"set-point" for happiness by as much as 25 percent.
- Such increases can be sustained over a period of months, challenging
the previously held notion that our "set-point" is frozen at birth.
- Keeping a gratitude journal for as little as three weeks can result in
better sleep and more energy.
Emmons also reaches beyond science to bolster the case for gratitude
by weaving in the writings of philosophers, novelists, and theologians.
Thanks! inspires readers to embrace gratitude and all the benefits it can
bring into their lives.
