McGraw-Hill, 2007
Happiness 101
I approach 'self-help' books with a healthy skepticism. I read this book because it was recommended to me by a group leader. I went to the bookstore, browsed it, and couldn't put it down. This book asks questions and it gives ways for each of us to provide our individual answers for our unique living circumstances. It's difficult to live a meaningful life in our world today when our attention is ...

It was totally amazing! The story is true and is one of the most inspiring I have ever encountered.

Robert Emmons
Houghton Mifflin, 2007
Cultivating the attitude of gratitude
I have been reading up on the topic of gratitude since reading a newspaper account of Professor Emmon's research on the topic. I have now studied this recent book on the topic and taken extensive notes. While the issue has always struck me as very important, I didn't realise the empirical support for the topic. Work conducted by Professor Emmons and his colleagues has provided important evidence ...

Paulist Press, 1984
I'm very grateful for this book...
You can tell from reading this book that the author is gentle and sincere, and that his life reflects the values and insights he shares here. I first read this book around 1994, and it is the most dog-eared of my books. I have almost the whole thing underlined. By refusing to get bogged down in theoretical disputes or definitions, and instead focusing on the bone of the Christian ...
