5.0 out of 5 stars The Insightful Chapters Form a Kaleidoscope of Views on Gratitude, August 30, 2008

By 

Mary Beth Sturgis, RN, PhD (Naples, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gratitude: A Way of Life (Paperback)

The core of the readings is the theme that gratitude is a simple yet powerful means of aligning ourselves with our spiritual source. It is a gift we give to ourselves as well as to others. Yet this is a gift we can take for granted, much like asking the question, "How are you?" and replying, "Fine, thank you." Each author who contributed a chapter in this book briefly shares an insight on gratitude. Each chapter is like a beautiful, shifting view of the bits of glass in the same kaleidoscope. I enjoyed savoring one chapter each day. There is some repetition, especially the message to be grateful for the challenges and difficult times that we face. This makes us stronger and more compassionate human beings. Sometimes with humor, sometimes with a sense of relief that a lesson is finally learned, authors reiterate this theme. It is a message well worth repeating!

In the concise introduction to each chapter, Hay also provides other works by the author of that chapter. This is very helpful, when the writings spark many new insights in me, and I want to pursue their works.

The authors in this book remind us of the importance of gratitude on a daily basis. A grateful heart is truly an open heart, appreciating life with it's wonders and it's challenges. The chapters are short and easy to read. And if you're feeling down for some reason, read a few chapters and your mood is guaranteed to improve!

This review is from: Gratitude: A Way of Life (Paperback)

Louise Hay has gathered some wonderful people to write mini-articles about the way to use Gratitude in your life. I have developed a morning ritual of reading one of the stories and writing 4 or 5 lines regarding gratitude for the various aspects of my life and the energy surge I have gotten each time has been terrific. Many of her authors bring up the point that . . . a person can't be truly grateful and unhappy at the same time . . . and I have found that the way this book has been put together, along with the various spiritual and metaphysical authors is a one in a million opportunity to gain a message that is truly serenity producing.
