...in this Ungrateful World

Gratitude is a habit. A discipline. A perspective. This book doesn't ask you to settle for less: it teaches you to appreciate what you have while continuing to build what you want.

The practices, page by page

Gratitude you practice on purpose, not a feeling you wait for.

Saying thank you is only the start. Jane Morales challenges the idea that gratitude is simply about saying thank you, keeping a journal, or looking on the bright side, and builds the book on meaningful conversations, research-supported insights, real-world examples, reflection practices, and practical strategies.
