Download or read book The Psychology of Gratitude written by Robert A. Emmons and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-02-26 with total page 385 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How often are we urged to "look on the bright side"? From Norman Vincent Peale to the ubiquitous smiley face, optimism has become an essential part of American society. In this long-overdue book, psychologist Julie Norem offers convincing evidence that, for many people, positive thinking is an ineffective strategy -- and often an obstacle -- for successfully coping with the anxieties and pressures of modern life. Drawing on her own research and many vivid case histories, Norem provides evidence of the powerful benefits of "defensive pessimism," which has helped millions to manage anxiety and perform their best work.

Book excerpt: 'A feast of small-town charm and characters who feel like dear friends.' - Liz Johnson, bestselling author of The Red Door Inn From USA TODAY bestselling author Kathryn Springer comes a tale of starting over when life takes an unexpected turn. Winsome Lake, Wisconsin, is postcard-pretty, but for chef Jessica Keaton it's also a last resort. Fired from her dream job, Jess is starting over as a live-in cook and housekeeper. When she arrives, she finds her new employer is in rehab after having a stroke, and Jess expects she'll be all alone in Elaine Haviland's quaint house. A chef with no one to cook for. But instead, she encounters a constant stream of colourful visitors who draw her back into the world. As Jess contends with local teenagers, a group of scrappy women and a charming football coach, Elaine faces some battles of her own that extend past her physical challenges. For both of them, all the ingredients for a fulfilling life are within reach, if they're willing to take a leap. And maybe Jess will start to see that it's not just what's on the table that matters-it's the people gathered round it.

Download or read book The Road to Santiago written by Kathryn Harrison and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-06-15 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Displaying her "real talent for conjuring far-flung times and places," Kathryn Harrison tells the mesmerizing story of her 200-mile pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. In the spring of 1999, Kathryn Harrison set out to walk the centuries-old pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela. "Not a vacation, " she calls it, "but a time out of time." With a heavy pack, no hotel reservations, and little Spanish, she wanted an experience that would be both physically and psychically demanding. No pain, no gain, she thought, and she had some important things to contemplate. But the pilgrim road was spattered with violets and punctuated by medieval churches and alpine views, and, despite the exhaustion, aching knees, and brutal sun, she was unexpectedly flooded with joy and gratitude for life's gifts. "Why do I like this road?" she writes. "Why do I love it? What can be the comfort of understanding my footprint as just one among the millions? ... While I'm walking I feel myself alive, feel my small life burning brightly." Throughout this deeply personal and revealing memoir of her journey, first made alone and later in the company of her daughter, Harrison blends striking images of the route and her fellow pilgrims with reflections on the redemptive power of pilgrimages, mortality, family, the nature of endurance, the past and future, the mystery of friendship. The Road to Santiago is an exquisitely written, courageous, and irresistible portrait of a personal pilgrimage in search of a broader understanding of life and self.
Download or read book Gratitude For Manifestation How To Become The Master Of Your Life Through Gratitude written by Kathleen Cameron and published by Leadher Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At any given moment, you can be on the edge of a massive breakthrough, a quantum leap, or a monumental paradigm shift. Tiny adjustments to your thoughts, feelings, and actions can create a hugely impactful ripple effect that has the power to change your entire life. If you want to manifest anything into your life, you need to zero in on a few simple, foundational practices that, when practiced regularly, can help you attract whatever you want into your life, with ease. Manifestation is possible for everyone, but not everyone will pursue it. Why? Well... probably because it all seems too simple. It seems so simple, in fact, that many will write it off as "unimportant." Manifestation itself is not difficult, but in order for it to work for you, it requires a consistency of effort and a regular focus on what it is you picture attracting into your life. It may take time, yes; but the actual practice is simple. Often when things seem too simple, we assume they aren't powerful. On the contrary, if you're ready to shift, you're about to learn exactly how to manifest your desires into reality. As long as you're willing to commit to the practice and the process, you can see the law of manifestation work for you, too. Kathleen Cameron and Andrea Cox have mastered the art of manifestation. Through regular focus on the very principles you're about to experience inside this journal, they have perfected the art of manifestation and the key concept that sets the foundation for manifestation to occur: gratitude. Kathleen and Andrea are a product of the process you're about to learn. Case in point: they manifested each other into their respective energies for the sole purpose of creating the journal you hold in your hands right now. It began as a thought, it turned into a feeling, it became a visualization and then, it manifested into reality. Gratitude for Manifestation has the potential to unlock your manifesting power and put into practice the most fundamental manifestation techniques you need to attract everything you want into your life. Today can be just one day, or it can be day one. You have the power to decide.
