Author A.J. Jacobs discovers that his coffee - and every other item in our lives - would not be possible without hundreds of people we usually take for granted: farmers, chemists, artists, presidents, truckers, mechanics, biologists, miners, smugglers, and goatherds. By thanking these people face-to-face, Jacobs finds some much-needed brightness in his life. Gratitude does not come naturally to Jacobs, but he sets off on the journey on a dare from his son. And by the end, it’s clear to him that scientific research on gratitude is true. Gratitude’s benefits are legion.

Gratitude is a choice. If we fail to chose it, by default we choose ingratitude. And once allowed into the heart, ingratitude does not come by itself but with a lot of other seedy companions that only succeed in stealing joy. To not choose gratitude - daily and deliberately - is more costly than we usually realize.

Publisher's Summary
In this inspiring memoir backed by pioneering research, Janice Kaplan spends a year living gratefully and gains a fresh outlook that transforms her marriage, family life, work, health, and everyday experience.
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 listeners 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 listeners to think positively and start living their own best years ever.

Disappointing
An unfortunately superficial treatment of a profound topic. Her talk of her vacation home, trips to Europe, and large bank accounts made it unrelatable. I would have liked a little more grit and acknowledgement that it isn't always so easy to look on the bright side.

Disappointing and Self-Indulgent
I was excited for this book because I keep a gratitude journal and believe in its benefits. The pattern of the writing - sentence, sentence, corny one liner "joke," sentence, sentence, corny one liner "joke" - grew extremely tiresome.
The book was self-indulgent at times and just distasteful at others (mentioning a woman who tragically lost her 3 young children and then the author segueing into losing her job was in offensive - especially since she and her husband are both clearly very wealthy and she had living children).
When the author got into gratitude and her struggle to lose 10 pounds I almost quit the book (she didn't even interview a registered dietitian nutritionist as an expert on the topic).
There were a few gems but overall I was just grateful the book was over and could start a new one.

I'm 50% with this. Probably it's too long and too self-centred but there is also something interesting in it. I was already looking on this topic and one book more doesn't hurt. But it's too long for what it gives.

when you're ready to shift your life read this!
Wow! This was an honest, empowering and motivating book! I love that the action steps aren't drastic yet with consistency, they give drastic improvements! Each night when I get into bed I start mentally listing the things I'm grateful for, so I'm already on board with the gratitude concept. Thanks to Janice Kaplan's honesty with her year long project, I have discovered things I've completely left off my gratitude list... like myself. So today is day one of my year long gratitude project and I think this first month will be gratitude for me!!! I'm so grateful for you Janice, thank you for sharing 😍

An Artful, Inspiring Perspective on Gratitude
What a fantastic listen! I'm on my 2nd round of enjoying Janice Kaplan's The Gratitude Diaries and I highly recommend it to everyone. Her enticing stories of celebrities and their gratitude experiences are entertaining & enlightening. I've learned from experience that a grateful heart is a happy one and this book is chock full of awesome incidents of gratitude - the author's and the many people with whom she's worked over the years. Kaplan is also a proficient narrator! Thank you, Janice Kaplan, for this delightful book!
