Thank You for Being You [Hardcover]

Bradley Trevor Greive (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2008

"I have filed away at least a million things to thank you for, but somehow I never got around to actually telling you what I felt nearly as often as I wanted to." --BTG, inside Thank You for Being You

This book makes up for every thank you letter you forgot to send. The perfect expression of gratitude for parents, friends, siblings, co-workers, and loved ones.

New York Times best-selling author Bradley Trevor Greive (BTG) knows a thing or two about offering thanks. He has penned 15 book titles that have been published in more than 105 countries and have sold more than 15 million copies. That's an awful lot of thank you letters to write, so BTG decided to pen the ultimate acknowledgement of appreciation ideal for expressing a range of gratitude-induced sentiment.

So, for all the thank you letters you may have sent, and especially for those you forgot to mail, consider this the long-overdue, but perfect message.

More About the Author

Since the debut of his international best-seller The Blue Day Book, Bradley Trevor Greive has become an international publishing sensation. A former Australian paratrooper, BTG left the army to pursue more creative misadventures. He has been bitten by wild monkeys and rabid bats and was accepted into the Russian cosmonaut program--though those incidents hopefully were unrelated. He spends most of his time in a tiny Tasmanian hamlet with his three very large dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting, Useful and Quick book to read..., October 9, 2010

This review is from: Thank You for Being You (Hardcover)

I have many Bradley Trevor Grieve books, and my undoubted favourite has to be The Blue Day Book.
Part of the problem I usually find is that, although pictures of wildlife and witty captions are easy reading, the books often lack a good central theme that is applicable beyond itself (e.g. Tomorrow).

With this book, I was a little worried it would be the same, with interesting pictures but with little utility. Despite appearances, this book is very useful and is one of those wee books you may want to buy as a gift.

Why?

Because it is essentially one long 'Thank You' letter.
A good friend of mine is always sending 'Thank You' cards (with animal pictures on them) to express gratitude for a social occasion, present or fun time she's had.
This book is basically the trump card of gratitude; it is a book to give to a lifelong friend after the latest of many acts of kindness has been received.

Hence it is a very useful book, and would make a good gift to a friend. Furthermore, it is also a good read and gives you the same warm, fuzzy feeling as The Blue Day Book.

I recall reading one of these books on a lazy afternoon to an ex-girlfriend and how romantic the gesture seemed to be.

So it is that this book is above all Interesting, definitely Useful and Quick - only taking 5 minutes to read.

Thoroughly recommended!
