What Makes You Grateful?
$16.95, 240 pages, 7.5 x 9.2" Softcover
What began as a personal pick-me-up quickly became a feel-good phenomenon, tapping into the power of gratitude. In October 2011, I began asking, "What makes you grateful?" and invited people to write or draw a glimmer of gladness on a postcard and mail it back to me. Placing blank invitation cards in public places like college cafeterias, post offices, parks, community centers, libraries, and cafes, I attempted to engage the community at large. Since then, I've received thousands of responses from all over the globe. From cupcakes to lightning strikes, this feel-good book gives voice to gratitude and the simple pleasures that make life great.
