Reviews
"We have spent the last decades trying to have what we want. This inspiring book shows us how to rejoice in what we have. Ryan proves that, no matter how worried we are about the future, feeling and expressing gratitude allows us to celebrate and deeply appreciate the privilege of being in the precious present. Ryan graciously shows that if we're going to 'have an attitude,' gratitude is the right one."
-Paul Pearsall, PhD, author of The Pleasure Prescription and The Heart's Code
"There is a powerful connection between being grateful, appreciating the gift of living well, and happiness. M. J. Ryan's Attitudes of Gratitude reminds us that gratitude is an achievement and creates lasting happiness when we commit ourselves to this illuminated state of desire-mind and passionate 'spirit-energy' to live the best life possible."
-Alexandra Stoddard, author of Things Good Mothers Know and Choosing Happiness

"The practice of gratitude is perhaps the most underutilized way to grow spiritually. It is also the fastest way to connect with the joy of being alive. M.J.

Honesty and practical wisdom shine throughout the pages of this important book."

"For me, this book could not have come at a better time. I have been working on bringing the ancient practice of gratitude to life in my life and finding that making a list just wasn't enough. Here are hundreds of ways to soften and loosen, to celebrate and pause. Thank you, M. J. Ryan."
-Jennifer Louden, author of The Woman's Comfort Book and The Woman's Retreat Book
"Thanksgiving is one of the most exciting and powerful antidotes to moral apathy and spiritual indifference available to human beings. The stories in this book testify to this wonderful value that all of us can practice-no matter our social, economic, cultural, or religious background. Gratitude is ours for the taking, but not to be taken for granted!"
-Elizabeth Espersen, executive director, Center for World Thanksgiving
