Get out your highlighter. There were so many gems. My favorite, “Perhaps gratitude can be part of the solution to the problems generated by inequality.” For me this set up the promise of hope that the devides in our society can be overcome. Several of the essays confirmed this idea with the research they highlighted.
All of the contributors wrote in easy to understand language. Many of the chapters included practical advice to include increasing gratitude in families, schools, and work places.
After finishing The Gratitude Project, I am determined to include more gratitude in my life.
What the world needs now is more gratitude.

This book is not at all what I expected from the cover and description. It reads like a research paper. After the first few sections I scanned the rest to see if there was anything worth reading. I'm sure it's a decent read if you're looking for research on gratitude, but if you're looking for an uplifting book (as the cover and description led me to believe), skip it.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is my first ever review under 3 stars. :(

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a really thorough book on how gratitude can be expressed and interpreted to improve our lives.

This book consists mostly of studies that talk about the impact or expression of gratitude and anecdotes from people on how to use or incorporate gratitude into your life. While we all may know that being grateful is good for us, this book does a deep dive on how and why that may be. The book also acknowledges the different ways gratitude is expressed culturally around the world.

Overall it's an interesting and informative read.
