Gratitude: The One Virtue That Can Transform Your Life

I know this probably sounds like a bunch of marketing, clickbait hype, but it isn’t at all.

After 30 years of research and countless numbers of peer-reviewed studies, psychologists are finally agreeing with writers throughout the ages who argue that gratitude may very well be the most important virtue a human can have.

Now, I can’t give you a thorough account of all that research in just 10 minutes, but I can give you a peek at some of the powerful benefits of gratitude as determined by these studies, many of which were spearheaded by psychologist, author, and UC-Davis Professor Robert Emmons, considered to be the world’s leading authority on the subject of gratitude.

If you want to dive into Dr. Emmons’ research for yourself, grab a copy of his book THANKS or the follow-up Gratitude Works! from Amazon.
