Don't be duped by the mind-candy, girly look of this book's cover! Attitudes of Gratitude deserves to be taken seriously by anyone who's serious about the practice of love. It's absolutely impossible to read this book without reflecting on all that you have received from your relationships and from your life experience. This powerful and potent feature makes the book worth buying and reading.

MaryJane Ryan also reminds us that gratitude is a simple and effective tool for quickly undoing the false judgments we hold against self and others. This is because gratitude and resentment are mutually exclusive, and each one cancels the other one out. Because gratitude enables you to swiftly change your mind, it's a kind of magic fairy dust that turns you into the person you most want to be. Gratitude is easy. It's fast. And anyone can do it. Try it for yourself and see. (The Spiritual Reviewer)

This book is really great, whenever you find yourself getting frustated, or depressed or just fed up, it is a real pick-me-up, literally. It is a book you can read over and over again to feel calm and content in your everyday life. Brings you back down to earth and really makes you just appreciate the small things. I love it :-) Thanks Mary !

I recently reinstituted my practice of gratitude and it was heartening to read an encouraging publication about practising gratitude in relationships. This book reminded me to celebrate and accentuate the positives in my partner and also to appreciate the precious gift that I am to him. A must-read for putting that spark back in those jaded spirits and reminding you why you chose that special person in the first place!

So often we take all of the little things in our life for granted, assuming others know how much we appreciate what they do. This book helps to raise the awareness of how important it is to share our appreciation for the people we love.

Each of the short chapters in this helpful book focus on a particular common aspect of living with a significant other. With humor and accuracy, Ryan depicts familiar situations and negative reactions that arise in every day life. She then offers insights regarding how we can place the situation in a new perspective, one of gratitude, that is uplifting for ourselves as well as for our relationship. The book offers the "nuts and bolts" of how to be grateful in a long term relationship. Her writing makes me chuckle as I recognize myself!

When times are hard, like they are now, it is nice to read a pleasant book that reminds us to be thankful and look for the small things that are already in our life that we may have overlooked. Brings happiness to my heart to read a chapter at a time.

Not nearly as good as her 1st one but a good reminder of how to stay in love even after 50+ years

bought this as a present for my daughter, it's helped her in rethinking and acting differently
