A Surefire Way to Make Yourself See Your Life More Positively Jul 18, 2018

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with a couple of stories about an easy way that you can dramatically change your life—by using the power of gratitude. This has been a big topic for us ever since we published Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Power of Gratitude, which I coauthored with Deborah Norville. We made the book because gratitude is a topic that our contributors have always written about and because it’s one of the essentials that you need for a happy life. If you’re not actively noting the blessings in your life, not actively looking for silver linings, and not allowing yourself to be pleased by the people and things in your life, you are not going to be a happy person.
