What Was the First Book Ever Made?

As far as historians know, and depending on what one means by “made,” the first book was either the Epic of Gilgamesh, the first bound copies of the Bible, or the Gutenberg Bible. Each marks a point in the development of books.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest-known written story that can be called a book. It was written in ancient Sumeria sometime prior to the 18th century B.C. on clay tablets. The first bound parchment books, or codices, were the Bibles of the early Christian church, like the 4th century A.D. Codex Vaticanus and the Codex Sinaiticus. Much later, in 1454 or 1455, Johann Gutenberg printed the first book on a moveable-type printing press: the Gutenberg Bible.

No list of books on gratitude would be complete without including Oliver Sacks.

Oliver Sacks was an extraordinary man, for many reasons. Not only was he a prolific author and respected neurologist, he was also a thoughtful and generous person who exuded a bright-eyed wonder and gratitude for life.

He made his mark with books like Awakenings (1983), The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat (1985), and Musicophilia (2007), but it may be his final essays, crafted with both a scientific pragmatism and an enthusiastic zest for life, that many of his fans and well-wishers will remember for years to come.

Sacks announced that he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer in January 2015 with a stirring and emotional essay in The New York Times . Towards the end, Sacks shares his current state with the following words:

I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude.

This sentiment is a fitting one for Dr. Sacks and captures the essence of his final book. Gratitude is an ode to life, to love, to mortality, and to the unique pleasures and challenges that accompany being human.

The book is composed of four essays that were originally published in The New York Times , including the essay announcing his illness, complemented by words from his partner and a longtime collaborator as well as photographs from the last few years of his life.

Gratitude is a thought-provoking and heart-wrenching look at life, death, and everything in between, with a message encouraging the reader to be grateful for every second of it.

You can find the book on Amazon .

oliver sacks on gratitude positive psychology

Oliver Sacks was not a big name in gratitude research. He did not publish dozens of articles on gratitude or conduct random controlled experiments on gratitude. He didn’t make startling new discoveries or think up new academic theories about gratitude.

Sacks’ contribution to our understanding of gratitude was a result of how he lived his life: grateful for each moment. You can see it in his books, his essays, and in the photographs he left behind.

You can read about it in the book his partner published after his death, Insomniac City: New York, Oliver, and Me.

You can hear it when reading his words aloud to yourself, words written with care and compassion for each patient-turned-subject.

Sacks did not just think about or write about gratitude, he lived it. He imbued his work with gratitude, and that gratitude shines through.

I heartily recommend any of Oliver Sacks’ books or essays. His writing is accessible, clear, and pleasantly free of jargon, considering his career in neuroscience.

This article from The Atlantic provides an excellent reading list for those curious about his work.

Great post! Full The Gratitude Workbook Review here! https://scamorno.com/The-Gratitude-Workbook-Review/?id=positivepsychologyprogram

Carol, I appreciate the detail and care of this blog. I am a clinical social worker/writer and write a bi-monthly blog “Gratitude is as Gratitude Does,” at fayewriter.com. I’m always on the lookout for new approaches, ways of thinking about the essentials of a gratitude process.

Thanks for the book suggestions and great articles you share; another work on the flip side is entitled “The Culture of Complaint” which has helped me understand how endemic in-gratitude is in our day.

I am looking for stories that highlight people who have had a life threatening experience whether from an illness, an accident or some other challenge. I want to know how they have. One to appreciate each and every day more than ever before. The purpose of this is to demonstrate how we should not take a minute for granted and be grateful for all of our blessings.

This website truly has all the ibformation I wanted concerning this subject and didn’tknow who to ask.

Sρot on with this writᥱ-up, I absoluteⅼy feel this website needs much mоre attеntion. І’ll prоbably be гeturning to read through more, thanks for the info!

Our pleasure, feel free to explore and share the word. Enjoy your reads 😉

I’m grateful that gratitude can be cultivated. This is freedom for me. I always said that I’m not a naturally grateful person. I don’t have to be. Gratitude can be consciously generated. The ATTITUDES OF GRATITUDE has really helped me

This is awesome Karen, glad it helped you and I agree, it’s so great that we can cultivate a greater sense of gratitude intentionally. Thank you for your comment 😉

HELLO THERE can you give me a little bit of your time and answer these questions for me in 5-6 sentences each: 1) Other than your health explain to me what you are most grateful for. 2) Give me a specific example of suffering in the world that hits you hard. Thanks for your time!

Thank you very much for those titles, i have been looking every where for a book on gratitude but found none in my country bookshops in Uganda. so i have resorted to writing my own gratitude journal.

That’s very resourceful of you Rhoda, well done! We at PPP (as we lovingly call our platform) are proud of you!

2. Gratitude by Oliver Sacks

A famous psychologist, Oliver Sacks became more and more philosophical throughout his life, combining his researched insights with his own wisdom.

He knew he had only a few months left to live. He chose to spend that time writing about the feelings of having had a successful, meaningful life rather than bemoaning the end of it. Gratitude is a powerful meditation on the benefits of thankfulness.

3. BlessBack: Thank Those Who Shaped Your Life by Julie Saffrin

Rather than a general attitude of thankfulness, BlessBack discusses how important it is to actually tell the special people in your life how grateful you are for them.

It combines research with practical advice to help you show people how much you appreciate them. Doing so helps your mood and makes them feel good at the same time. The idea that we should focus on the needs of others to feel appreciated ends up making the world more of a place we all want to live in.

4. Living in Gratitude: A Journey That Will Change Your Life by Angeles Arrien

Living in Gratitude is an interdisciplinary exploration discussing how we can find the roots of what makes us ungrateful and work up from there to a feeling of real thankfulness.

5. 365 Thank Yous: The Year a Simple Act of Daily Gratitude Changed My Life by John Kralik

Kralik’s story of choosing radical selflessness during a dark period in his life will inspire us all to focus on the positive and affirm those we love. This choice transformed his life and offers readers hope for changes in circumstances when they find ways to thank those who matter to them.

A Simple Act of Gratitude is written in simple and direct language, making it unusually approachable for people who aren’t always interested in reading.

6. The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown

Brené Brown has taught many lessons on how to be vulnerable in a world full of people who prefer to protect themselves. The Gifts of Imperfection reframes vulnerability as a gift we can be grateful for, where we notice that we are not perfect and use these moments as ways to connect more deeply to those around us.

Noticing our flaws and accepting them as part of the unique mix that makes us interesting can powerfully reframe a perfectionist mindset.

7. Choosing Gratitude: Your Journey to Joy by Nancy Leigh DeMoss

Choosing Your Gratitude is a faith-based book that encourages thanking both God and others as a path to actual, lasting joy. It talks about how pursuing one’s agenda may lead to shorter-term happiness, but sustainable satisfaction and contentment are linked to being grateful for what one already has.

This mindful approach to one’s experience of the world can seep into your perspective on everything else, not just your faith experience.

8. Thanks a Thousand: A Gratitude Journey by A.J. Jacobs

A.J. Jacobs is famous for taking on ambitious experiments and writing about them, and Thanks a Thousand is no different.

Children have a range of levels of natural gratitude, but demonstrating the value of gratitude early through books can be a good way to motivate an attitude of thankfulness.

9. Thank You, Omu! by Oge Mora

Exploring gratitude and generosity, Thank You, Omu! will inspire children to see how giving is often better and more satisfying than receiving.

It shows gratitude through the lens of Omu and her kindness to share cups of soup with the neighbors.

A story told in a poem, Thankful shows how different people find satisfaction and contentment in the positive but simple pleasures of their days. Readers can share their own gratitude ideas when reading this book together, increasing its impact.

11. Look and Be Grateful by Tomie dePaola

Much of gratitude has to do with paying careful attention, stopping to appreciate what we could just blow past in our hurry to do the next thing.

Look and Be Grateful is a beautiful, nearly meditative book that offers the opportunity for children to slow down and see the things that inspire wonder in their nearby spaces. It's a great book to use as a calm-down routine.

12. The Thank You Book by Mo Willems

Using an elephant and a pig, Mo Willems offers humor and conversation to show the ways we can express our gratitude and how it matters to those around us.

Children will love the silly and fun characters in The Thank You Book who they may have seen in other books.

13. Thanks for Thanksgiving by Julie Markes

Reading Thanks for Thanksgiving , your child will grow to understand that the holiday is about much more than eating delicious food and family time.

14. Thank You Bear by Greg E. Foley

For children who are not very old, a smaller board book-style story like Thank You Bear can serve as a nice introduction to gratitude and to understanding your friends and family well.

This book follows Bear as he carries a mystery box around, prompting children to want to get to the end of the story and see what is inside!

15. My Heart Fills with Happiness by Monique Gray Smith

16. When Grandma Gives You a Lemon Tree by Jamie L.B. Deenihan

When Grandma Gives You a Lemon Tree takes on the adage, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!” It contains wonderful lessons for how having to put in a little hard work can be its own reward, and how an activity or experience will often produce more satisfaction than just another toy or piece of electronics.

This book will help young readers see that they can be grateful even when things don’t go the way they were expecting.

Reading Our Way to an Attitude of Gratitude

There are many ways to create more gratitude in your life: a reverse bucket list , for instance, can give you some perspective of all that you’ve experienced and the joys you’ve felt. Books on happiness might be of help, as well.

On the other hand, losing someone important to you or worrying about the future can be stressful feelings that cloud our feelings of gratitude. Well-made documentaries about death and loss offer stories that help us feel less alone in our pain.

11 Gratitude Books To Remind You To Be Thankful Daily

In our continuous pursuit of happiness, one thing that people emphasize time and again is a feeling of gratitude. These days, the science behind gratitude and the general public are starting to get the idea that gratitude for things in life is actually a good thing. With life going by so fast, taking some time to slow down and express some gratitude is always nice.

In light of all this, I’ve gone out to look for some of the best books revolving around gratitude. These books do more than show us the benefits of gratitude. In fact, these books are able to help us bring a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and wellbeing to ourselves too.

Before diving into the list, here is the sort of criteria I looked for in books about gratitude. Considering how sizable the self-improvement industry is, you can use these criteria to determine other books beyond this list:

1. Words of Gratitude

11 Gratitude Books To Remind You To Be Thankful Daily

Written by Robert Emmons, he is one of the most influential professionals in gratitude research with several books and articles published on this topic. This book is written in sweet spots of many people, between academic areas and intimate ones as well.

If you’re looking for a book that has ample research but also explains itself in simple language, give this book a read.

Buy Words of Gratitude here.

2. The Psychology of Gratitude

Another book that Robert Emmons worked on is The Psychology of Gratitude. He and Michael McCullough assembled this book for those looking to delve further into the theories, philosophies, and evidence surrounding gratitude overall.

This book pulls various perspectives and fields. It provides such an in-depth look into gratitude that many describe this as a necessary book if you’re ever planning to get into positive psychology. That said, you don’t need to have a background in it to understand this book.

Buy The Psychology of Gratitude here.

The last Emmons book I’ll talk about in this post is Thanks!. This calls back to the Words of Gratitude book he wrote where there is a bit of gratitude research while also giving different perspectives.

This book pulls from psychology, religion and anthropology before offering a call to action to cultivate gratitude in your life. The angle this book is taking is more along the lines of understanding how gratitude can create a life-changing addition to your life as well as tactics to use it in your life.

Buy Thanks! here.

4. A Simple Act of Gratitude

Written by John Kralik, this memoir provides a personal look into gratitude and how it can change someone’s life. In this memoir, John Kralik talks about an all-time low point in his life to make it into a happy and flourishing life.

How he went about it was through the simple act of writing down thank-you notes to himself. After doing enough of those he had an epiphany:

“My life would become more manageable if I spent all my energy and focus on what I do have in my life rather than what I don’t have.”

That epiphany sent him on a journey where he devoted an entire year to writing 365 thank-you notes, once per day. Every time he did that he noticed profound changes in himself and wrote all about them in this book.

If you’re looking for a simple book to see gratitude in action, this is a great pick.

Buy A Simple Act of Gratitude here.

5. The Gratitude Diaries

A New York Times bestselling book has a mixture of the books discussed so far. The core focus of this book is revolving around one woman’s efforts to stick to her New Year’s resolution of being more grateful and optimistic – similar to John Kralik.

At the same time, the book delves into plenty of academic research and backs up findings with evidence-based findings like the Robert Emmons books.

This approach Janice Kaplan takes is nice as you’re getting the best of both worlds. All wrapped up in a book that you can casually read thanks to the informal and accessible tonne.

Buy The Gratitude Diaries here.

6. One Thousand Gifts

Many great gratitude books stem from personal exploration as these help us to better understand gratitude. Ann Voskamp’s book – One Thousand Gifts – is no different as she shares her personal transformation around her new habit of writing down specifics of what she is thankful for. In the book, she refers to these as “gifts”.

She argues that jotting these down on a regular basis will allow us to notice the smaller details in our lives. Based on her own transformation, it’s hard to argue with that logic.

Buy One Thousand Gifts here.

7. Living Life As A Thank You

Written by authors Nina Lesowitz and Mary Beth Sammons, this book drives home that whatever you’re given in life, even if it’s bad, saying thank you for these can change your life. This book provides a gratitude plan for those looking to delve into gratitude and also to help them understand how gratitude can improve the daily feelings of compassion, hope, and love.

Buy Living Life As A Thank You here.

8. The Little Book of Hygge

Pronounced as Hoo-ga, the idea of Hygge has Danish origins. It loosely translates to a feeling of community, well-being and coziness. The author – Meik Wiking – writes about Hygge as a way to introduce this concept and how people can incorporate this into your life.

And it’s not like these are very difficult to achieve. According to Hygge, things like taking breaks, and being present are easy to do. They also aren’t that much of a stretch to the ideas and benefits that we get when expressing gratitude.

Buy The Little Book of Hygge here.

9. The Gifts of Imperfection

Brené Brown has written all kinds of books over the years on a variety of topics. One in her wheelhouse focuses on gratitude. To Brown, she outlines ten guideposts that are designed to inspire people to live a wholehearted and authentic life. She argues that by living your life in this way, it’s easier to accept, show compassion, and cultivate gratitude in your life.

Buy The Gifts of Imperfection here.

10. Everyday Gratitude

For those looking for quick bursts of information or something very easy to read, picking up a copy of Everyday Gratitude could be an option. The focus of this book is revolving around quotes from influential figures plus reflections and practices for viewing life as a gift. This is great for those who aren’t too keen on knowing the inner workings and want to experience gratitude first hand in a faster way.

But Everyday Gratitude here.

11. Gratitude

The final book we’ll share is one written by Oliver Sacks titled Gratitude. Even though he didn’t do any research in the gratitude field, his essays and the multiple books he’s published since the early 1980s made their marks on many people.

Based on his essays and books it’s clear that Sacks was a man filled with gratitude. Even when he announced to people that he had terminal cancer in January 2015, he had this to say:

“I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude.”

This book consists of four essays that were published in The New York Times – one of them being the essay where he announced his illness. This is complemented by his partner’s words and photographs of the last few years of his life.

If you’re looking for a thought-provoking and heart-wrenching book that looks at the entire cycle of life, this is your best option.

Buy Gratitude here.

Final Thoughts

In our fast-paced lives, it’s easy to lose ourselves or forget about feeling grateful in our lives. These books teach us and remind us to slow down and take notice of the small things in life.

Many of these books also stress why that is so important to do in the first place. For those looking to hope into the world of gratitude, you can’t go wrong with picking up any of these books.

10 Best Books On Gratitude and Finding Appreciation in Life

By: Author RachelJo

Posted on Last updated: October 20, 2022

Categories Self-Care , Self-Development

Share this! Thanks!

The first time I actually paid attention to the power of appreciation and got interested in some of the best books on gratitude was just 5 years ago when I almost died.

Now, don’t imagine some accident or misfortune happening to me. I was just 29 years old disappointed woman living in a foreign country and felt like a walking failure who didn’t want to… well, walk anymore. The details are personal, and I will leave them a secret. I was battling a deep depression and wasn’t seeing any chance of getting better, and that is something many people in similar situation experience.

At some point, I was ashamed to admit I had those thoughts, and most people in my life have no clue what I’ve been through.

Yet, I know.

And every time I think about that moment 5 years ago, the only things I remember are the gloomy grey day and the sharp turn on the road when I decided to hit my car in a lorry that was taking that turn.

The full story (and what stopped me from doing it) can be read on my other blog, where I share my tips on getting over depression and anxiety.

What you might be interested in is how gratitude could take a person out of deep depression and keep him away from it for good.

Because that is what happened.

Back then, 5 years ago, I decided that if I was going to live this life, I needed to have a pinch of curiosity for it. A short video by Gabrielle Bernstein convinced me I need a tiny notebook for gratitude, and these two things (curiosity for life and my gratitude journal ) took me on a wonderful journey to self-discovery and living the life I truly enjoy.

What is Gratitude?

I guess it might be a trivial question nowadays as we all know what gratitude is. Yet, we still need an extra explanation.

Books will tell you that gratitude is the simple feeling of thankfulness and appreciation we have towards someone for doing something that made us feel good in any possible way.

I’ve also found out that gratitude is a feeling of powerful blissfulness, wholeness , and the simplest step towards a happy life . Gratitude is the appreciation for having “enough” and the knowledge that “more is coming” daily.

Gratitude is like fresh air after staying in a room with no windows for days or maybe years (who counts them). I might be a bit worried as to why I did not realize earlier that gratitude was what I needed to live a life of hope and happiness. Yet, everyone’s journey is different, and I accept that I discovered it when the time was right.

Maybe the time is right for you too.

If you are on the journey of discovering Gratitude…

If you are inspired by gratitude and its immense powers, all you need is a piece of paper and the willingness to step out of your comfort zone and write the first three things that come to mind when you type “I am grateful for…”

And if you’d like to take your journey a step or two further, you also want to get yourself a few books that will keep you motivated and focused on Gratitude.

In this post, I’ve put together my personal recommendations on the best books on Gratitude, and I also announce which one I recommend the most (it might surprise you). More about this later.

Let’s check what your next Gratitude read should be.

10 Best Books on Gratitude

Best books on gratitude.

Thanks!: How Practicing Gratitude Can Make You Happier by Dr. Robert Emmons

Dr. Emmons is one of the leading figures of the positive psychology movement, and his book Thanks! takes on a little more scientific and a little bit more religious journey through gratitude.

I know it sounds a little bit confusing how religion and science intertwine together in this book, yet this is a very good read to start with if curious about gratitude.

Packed with thorough psychology research and how gratitude affects us on a deeper level, Thanks! promises to enrich your knowledge and won't leave you emotionless.

The one thing that seems to be a put-off is the shrinking of the idea of gratitude and the things you can be grateful for. Yet, it is still a great read to start with.

Rating: 3/5

A Simple Act of Gratitude: How Learning to Say Thank You Changed My Life by John Kralik

If you love a good story with a happy ending that is a little bit predictable yet inspiring and encouraging - this would be your best book on gratitude.

John Kralik's personal story is just like that of many other normal people who go on downhill and cannot find their way back. In the middle of a second divorce, on the edge of a financial bankrupt, losing connections with his children and dumped by his girlfriend... It sounds like a script of a low-budget romantic story.

Yet, things are turning around when John decides to send one handwritten thank-you note a day. He reaches out to old clients, friends from the college, past loves, and a year later, his life looks like nothing before.

Nothing unpredictable, yet so inspiring, and the most important thing is that it isn't a fantasy. Yes, gratitude transforms one's life because it transforms one's soul.

Gratitude by Oliver Sacks

Four essays, four times expressing gratitude for life itself and four times emotionally exploring what we have - life, and what waits for us all - end of life.

Oliver Sacks was a neurologist, writer, lover of everything unordinary and had a way of showing a side of the world we usually choose to ignore.

His beautiful essays from the last year of his life are combined in Gratitude - probably his most praised and respected book on gratitude. It is a quick read, but you will want to read it again and again.

Tenderly, Sacks expresses gratitude for having the privilege to be alive. This book is comforting, touching, a little bit saddening, yet brilliant.

Contributors in this book of poems include Kimberly Bleaser, Cunthia Leitich Smith, Janice Scully, Jane Yolen and many others.

The Gratitude Project: How the Science of Thankfulness Can Rewire Our Brains for Resilience, Optimism, and the Greater Good

One of the things that give me the most joy lately is that gratitude isn't seen as just a "feeling" by people anymore.

In fact, it's a part of scienced-based researches, and more and more, it's seen as a tool and a path to a healthier and happier life.

The Gratitude Project is a little bit scientific, a little bit dry to read, but a great resource of inspiration and knowledge on how appreciation in life changes life.

Mindfulness for Beginners: Reclaiming the Present Moment and Your Life(Book & CD)) by Jon Kabat-Zinn

He brought mindfulness to the mass and proved that we could improve clinical disorders such as depression and anxiety through it.

Jon Kabat-Zinn has been a practitioner of meditation, yoga, and mindfulness for over 30 years. His book is not on gratitude precisely, yet it gives you what you need o practice both mindfulness and gratitude every day.

I place this book in the list of best books on gratitude as it will get you to a level of comfort and mindful living, which drastically increases feelings of appreciation.

Ready to transform your life? Start with this book.

Choosing Gratitude: Your Journey to Joy by Nancy Leigh DeMoss

Choosing Joy and Gratitude over ingratitude... Nancy DeMoss takes you on a journey through questioning the way you approach your days. Does "not being grateful" mean we unknowingly choose "ingratitude"?

I love the concept of this book as it states that indeed Gratitude is a choice, just as Joy and Happiness. And the only reason we decide (because we do) to unsee this is because we look in another direction.

Easy to read, calming and sweet.

Just One Thing: Developing A Buddha Brain One Simple Practice at a Time by Rick Hanson

52 practices to invite mindfulness and gratitude into your life. This little book helps you focus on what truly matters in a Buddha-style manner backed up by neuroscience and seasoned with simplicity.

Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson, 20th Anniversary Edition by Mitch Albom

I will be forever fond of this book, and I will take my time convincing you why you need it in your life.

Leafing through the pages of this brilliant artwork, you cannot feel anything else but appreciation, gratitude, serenity, and awe of life itself.

It is my top choice on this list of books on gratitude, even if it's not dedicated to gratitude. And yet, it is.

A dying professor, his busy student, and a swirl of laughs and tears are waiting for you from page one. If you have that one person that you never manage to get enough of, if you have that teacher, parent, guide, mentor, friend, someone who never failed to shower with wisdom and love, then you know this book is for you.

Laughing at the misfortunes, teaching his last lesson, Morrie will liveforever in your heart and will become your teacher as well.

Based on a true story, Tuesdays With Morrie is one book every human being has to touch.

An Attitude of Gratitude: 17 Books That Show Kids What It Means to Be Thankful

By dena mcmurdie.

My kids are shy around adults and often get too nervous to remember their manners until I remind them. They’ll murmur a quiet “thank you” and dash away. Insisting that my kids express gratitude for someone’s kindness is not a torture tactic I’ve thought up to make their lives more awkward (contrary to what they might think). Rather, gratitude helps us feel happier and get the most out of life. When my kids are feeling down, forget their manners, or need a reminder about all the good things they have, I read these books about gratitude with them.

Thanks from the Very Hungry Caterpillar

(Young Adult)

A Simple Act of Gratitude: How Learning to Say Thank You Changed My Life

By John Kralik ,

I can’t recommend enough writing thank you messages during your days to people you know, clients, and everyone that comes to your mind. And I thank the author for this precious idea.

1 author picked A Simple Act of Gratitude as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it .

Who in your life deserves thanks? What started out as an experiment- a quest to send 365 Thank You notes in a year- became a way of life for author John Kralik. After he hit rock bottom, the genuine effort of writing a brief note each day eased his anger, frustration, and sadness. This new focus on being grateful- even when it seemed there was little left to be thankful for- transformed his difficulties and fears as if by magic. Friendships grew deeper.....family bonds strengthened......health and finances improved. Expressing gratitude exposed the richness in his life, and the process can… show more.

By Rhonda Byrne ,

This book has helped me a lot changing my life by opening up my mind to the fact that I can do everything I wish to, I am much more powerful than what I think and I have the ability to fulfill my dreams. It might seem obvious but it is not for many of us. In fact, after reading this book I fulfilled a great dream of mine, becoming an author.

Even if this book talks mainly about the Law of Attraction, a fundamental part of this law is gratitude and its power to change our hearts and our look at life.

On Gratitude

By Todd Aaron Jensen ,

This is a star-filled book where each celebrity shares what they are most thankful for. Among others, you can find stories by Alicia Keys, Jeff Bridges, Sheryl Crow, B.B. King, Francis Ford Coppola, Dave Grohl, Stan Lee, Forest Whitaker, Ringo Star, and many many more. I have found this reading very profound as you can see the humble side of these celebrities and how they are thankful for all the gifts they received along the way. Every story is different and some are really intriguing but the common point is they do not forget to be grateful and that is the main message they leave in the heart of readers.

What Are You Most Grateful For? Ricky Gervais says...Pajamas.I've started wearing pajamas out, because they're more comfortable than trousers. (Laughs) I started out with jeans, then went to sweatpants about ten years ago. Now it's just pajamas. I wore them to the White House. I've gone whole hog. Dolly Parton says...Humble Roots.I think being brought up dirt poor left with me with a feeling of what it was like to go without, so I can relate when people are having a hard time. In my case, being a songwriter, I'm able to write not only for and about myself, but… show more.

Celebrities

By Oliver Sacks ,

Oliver Sacks is a famous psychologist who started to become more and more spiritual with age with the ability to combine his scientific approach to his wisdom. When he found out that he only had a few months to live he decided to spend his last time focusing on the good side of his life and the gift he received instead of focusing on sadness and desperation.

This book is the result of that period and is a fantastic journey through the benefits of gratitude and of being grateful.

2 authors picked Gratitude as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it .

Oliver Sacks died in August 2015 at his home in Greenwich Village, surrounded by his close friends and family. He was 82. He spent his final days doing what he loved: playing the piano, swimming, enjoying smoked salmon - and writing . . . As Dr Sacks looked back over his long, adventurous life his final thoughts were of gratitude. In a series of remarkable, beautifully written and uplifting meditations, in Gratitude Dr Sacks reflects on and gives thanks for a life well lived, and expresses his thoughts on growing old, facing terminal cancer and reaching the end.

Think and Grow Rich

By Napoleon Hill ,

Kelly Weaver Author Of Living Your Own Aloha: 5 Steps to Manifesting Your Dreams

From Kelly's list on manifesting and attracting your dreams and desires .

After reading this book, I realized that I was actually repelling wealth. In order to transform your reality, you need to reprogram your subconscious mind. What you think becomes reality. The author teaches specific principles but it is up to the reader to apply them. You’ll need to write daily goals and affirm them aloud daily. My copy is full of highlights, notes, and annotations. There are too many nuggets of wisdom to mention. If you want to attract abundance in your life, this is the first book you need to read!

The ONE Thing

By Gary Keller , Jay Papasan ,

John Lamerton Author Of Big Ideas... For Small Businesses: Simple, Practical Tools and Tactics to Help Your Small Business Grow

From John's list on ambitious, lifestyle business owners .

I used to think I was Plymouth's answer to Richard Branson – running 12 different businesses – selling everything from mobile phone insurance to serviced office rental, private villas rentals to car breakdown cover, online betting to affiliate software tools – until I read The ONE Thing , and realised I wasn't a business owner: I was a juggler – and not a very good one at that!

After reading The ONE Thing , I stopped doing a dozen things for a dozen businesses, and started doing one thing for one business – and, as you'll read in my book, it was a game changer!

3 authors picked The ONE Thing as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it .

YOU WANT LESS. You want fewer distractions and less on your plate. The daily barrage of e-mails, texts, tweets, messages, and meetings distract you and stress you out. The simultaneous demands of work and family are taking a toll. And what's the cost? Second-rate work, missed deadlines, smaller paychecks, fewer promotions-and lots of stress. AND YOU WANT MORE. You want more productivity from your work. More income for a better lifestyle. You want more satisfaction from life, and more time for yourself, your family, and your friends. NOW YOU CAN HAVE BOTH-LESS AND MORE. In The ONE Thing, you'll learn… show more.

Dispelling Wetiko

By Paul Levy ,

Colin R. Turner Author Of F-Day: The Second Dawn Of Man

From Colin's list on to alter your world view .

As someone who campaigns for a better way to operate spaceship Earth, Dispelling Wetiko was the precise slap in the face I needed to break free from the spell that has captured so many would-be change-makers like myself. It’s so easy to look around and point the finger at those who benefit most from the world’s problems as being the cause agents when nothing could be further from the truth.

It is our collective hopes, our weaknesses, and our fears – multiplied in their billions – that create the super-structure that billionaires enjoy. Levy defines this as a collective psychosis of humanity that wreaks havoc on the world around us – a psychosis that we must face down before we can hope to defeat it.

1 author picked Dispelling Wetiko as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it .

There is a contagious psychospiritual disease of the soul, a parasite of the mind, that is currently being acted out en masse on the world stage via a collective psychosis of titanic proportions. This mind-virus—which Native Americans have called "wetiko"—covertly operates through the unconscious blind spots in the human psyche, rendering people oblivious to their own madness and compelling them to act against their own best interests. Drawing on insights from Jungian psychology, shamanism, alchemy, spiritual wisdom traditions, and personal experience, author Paul Levy shows us that hidden within the venom of wetiko is its own antidote, which once recognized… show more.

Topics are things like World War 1, dinosaurs, grief, or jazz. We will add genres in 2022 .

What is Gratitude?

Gratitude is the practice of choosing to focus on the positives in life and being thankful for them.
