THE POWER of GRATITUDE"How to experience and enjoy Gratitude"This book will help every reader to look at life through the lens of gratitude, to recognize the many gifts, benefits, and mercies presented to us by God. To appreciate and acknowledge the good things in life, that may otherwise remain hidden and ignored in the confusion of ungrateful living. To acknowledge God's divine hand in shaping and directing the affairs of men. The world would be a much better place if people learned how to express gratitude. Humans are short on gratitude; people rarely appreciate the good things that happen in their lives. They concentrate on what they do not have and lose out on what God has blessed them with. They become irritable, dissatisfied, and self-centred. Gratitude is the antidote that neutralizes all negative emotions it neutralizes, anger, jealousy, envy, malice, and selfishness. Successful men and women have tapped into the power behind gratitude and have risen to great heights in their careers and professions. They have also used gratitude to inspire others to greatness. In the first section of the book, the reader is introduced to the discipline of gratitude; it's social, human, religious, and scientific effects. The reader is led to understand why gratitude is a powerful life-changing emotion and why it's still a choice and its effects on our lives. We were created to express gratitude to God and to fellow human beings. The reason we do not express enough gratitude is that we don't know-how. In the second section of the book, the reader is guided to understand how gratitude affects relationships, families, workplaces, and society. Gratitude makes us take a pause and note the things that we take for granted: -The early morning fresh air, the golden hue of the rising sun, the cool breeze blowing from the ocean, the green grass in the fields, the endlessly blue sky above, the blooming field of flowers, the stars in the darkened sky.The reader is then conducted through psychological, physiological, and neurological effects of gratitude on our lives and shown the effects of gratitude on our physical bodies. The reader is led to understand how gratitude impacts our health, our personality, and our mental wellbeing. People experience and express gratitude differently. Some dwell in the past, they retrieve positive memories and are thankful for the good things that happened to them in the past, in childhood or their early years. Experiencing gratitude motivates recipients to behave prosocially, meaning that people have an intent to benefit others. Gratitude also develops reciprocity; this reciprocity is motivated by indebtedness to the benefactor or giver. The book reveals how gratitude can alleviate mental health symptoms.
