Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gratitude, like other positive emotions, has inspired many theological and philosophical writings, but it has inspired very little vigorous, empirical research. In an effort to remedy this oversight, this volume brings together prominent scientists from various disciplines to examine what has become known as the most-neglected emotion. The volume begins with the historical, philosophical, and theoretical foundations of gratitude, then presents the current research perspectives from social, personality, and developmental psychology, as well as from primatology, anthropology, and biology. The volume also includes a comprehensive, annotated bibliography of research on gratitude. This work contributes a great deal to the growing positive psychology initiative and to the scientific investigation of positive human emotions. It will be an invaluable resource for researchers and students in social, personality, and developmental, clinical, and health psychology, as well as to sociologists and cultural anthropologists.

Book excerpt: During a season of transition in my life, I found myself overwhelmed with negative emotions like self-pity and a complaining spirit. It was as if a dark cloud had descended over me. I prayed and asked God for wisdom on how to overcome these negative emotions. As I did, I sensed Him leading me to do a 21 day gratitude challenge. Over the course of the 21 days, God began to change me as I spent intentional time being grateful for all I had been given. I did this through writing in my journal each day and also sending a hand-written thank you note to someone different each day. This also led me to writing out 21 prayers of gratitude and compiling 21 stories of gratitude. I want to share what I learned with you in the pages of this book. What to Expect On Each Day: Read my personal stories, struggles and reflections. Read one scripture and one quote about gratitude. Apply one personal application step from the challenge. Read one prayer of gratitude Read one story of gratitude Get Accountability and Encouragement Along with the 21 day challenge, I also started a private Facebook group to provide accountability and encouragement for myself but also for others who decide to join me in the challenge.

Download or read book 365 Thank Yous written by John Kralik and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2010-12-28 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One recent December, at age 53, John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low: his small law firm was failing; he was struggling through a painful second divorce; he had grown distant from his two older children and was afraid he might lose contact with his young daughter; he was living in a tiny apartment where he froze in the winter and baked in the summer; he was 40 pounds overweight; his girlfriend had just broken up with him; and overall, his dearest life dreams--including hopes of upholding idealistic legal principles and of becoming a judge--seemed to have slipped beyond his reach. Then, during a desperate walk in the hills on New Year's Day, John was struck by the belief that his life might become at least tolerable if, instead of focusing on what he didn't have, he could find some way to be grateful for what he had. Inspired by a beautiful, simple note his ex-girlfriend had sent to thank him for his Christmas gift, John imagined that he might find a way to feel grateful by writing thank-you notes. To keep himself going, he set himself a goal--come what may--of writing 365 thank-you notes in the coming year. One by one, day after day, he began to handwrite thank yous--for gifts or kindnesses he'd received from loved ones and coworkers, from past business associates and current foes, from college friends and doctors and store clerks and handymen and neighbors, and anyone, really, absolutely anyone, who'd done him a good turn, however large or small. Immediately after he'd sent his very first notes, significant and surprising benefits began to come John's way--from financial gain to true friendship, from weight loss to inner peace. While John wrote his notes, the economy collapsed, the bank across the street from his office failed, but thank-you note by thank-you note, John's whole life turned around. 365 Thank Yous is a rare memoir: its touching, immediately accessible message--and benefits--come to readers from the plainspoken storytelling of an ordinary man. Kralik sets a believable, doable example of how to live a miraculously good life. To read 365 Thank Yous is to be changed.

Download or read book 31 Days of Gratitude Challenge written by Daniel C Okpara and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-05 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intentional Gratitude and Praying for Others Will Change Your Life Forever.Release the power of gratitude right now for total victory and all-around restoration.Can you praise God 31 minutes a day for 31 days?That's the deal: Don't pray for your personal needs for the next thirty-one days. Just wake up every night and praise God for thirty-one minutes, and do it nonstop for the next thirty-one days. Can you do that? Can you try to avoid worrying about the situation in your life right now, no matter how threatening it seems, and intentionally praise God every night for 31 days? At the time of writing this book, the world is currently going through very perilous times. So many things had happened - the COVID-19, the many deaths, the global lockdowns, the vaccine theory, and the many other problems. We had just finished our month of Divine Direction, and I was thinking, "What will be our prophetic focus for the next month?" In the course of searching my spirit for several days, I felt that we can praise God even in the mess. I felt in my spirit God calling us to praise Him, no matter what. I think the devil is trying so hard to keep us in the worry and fear trap. He is trying so hard to make us see reasons to murmur, quarrel, and look away from God's goodness. He's got good partners in the media and they're doing all they can to ensure we never have reasons to think about faith, prayer, and God's love. So we created the thirty-one-day gratitude challenge to be a guide to praise God and pray for others over a 31-day period. This book is a revised edition of the first book, 28 days of praise, published in 2018. It is a compilation of praise words and inspirations for the next 31 days. Intentional praise is a powerful weapon of spiritual warfare. It will defeat your worries, fears, confusions, and spiritual battles and command the release of God's voice to you, peace, assurance and breakthrough. When we intentionally choose praise in the face of many seemingly unanswered prayers, we choose to believe that, yes, even though life is not yet going as we desire and pray for, God is still a good God, and can be trusted.As you follow this devotional and praise God from the depth of your heart in the next 31 days, watch out. The power of God will be released to calm your anxieties, defeat your battles and fears, and release your hanging blessings and answers to your prayers.
