    About this audiobook

    On New Year's Eve, journalist and former Parade Editor-in-Chief Janice Kaplan makes a promise to be grateful and look on the bright side of whatever happens. She realizes that how she feels over the next months will have less to do with the events that occur than her own attitude and perspective. Getting advice at every turn from psychologists, academics, doctors, and philosophers, she brings readers on a smart and witty journey to discover the value of appreciating what you have.

    Relying on both amusing personal experiences and extensive research, Kaplan explores how gratitude can transform every aspect of life including marriage and friendship, money and ambition, and health and fitness. She learns how appreciating your spouse changes the neurons of your brain and why saying thanks helps CEOs succeed. Through extensive interviews with experts and lively conversations with real people including celebrities like Matt Damon, Daniel Craig, and Jerry Seinfeld, Kaplan discovers the role of gratitude in everything from our sense of fulfillment to our children's happiness.

    With warmth, humor, and appealing insight, Janice's journey will empower readers to think positively and start living their own best year ever.

    Editor's Note

      This wasp is so out of touch it’s unreal. 0/10 would not recommend, unless you’re reading about gratitude from your yacht in the manhattan bay, sipping imported champagne and lamenting about how difficult your perfect life is. In which case, you might relate!
