Early Peek at The Thank-You Project
Ok, it’s less than three weeks from the pub date for The Thank-You Project and I’m wondering if I am the only one waking up at 5 am each morning saying, “OMG there are thirty-seven more things I need to do about the book!” Yes? Just me? No wonder you all look better rested than I do.
Anyway, I’ll keep this brief. But make sure you read all the way to the end for something special…
The Thank-You Project: Cultivating Happiness One Letter of Gratitude at a Time (Running Press) is about a year I spent writing gratitude letters to people who had helped, shaped, or inspired me to that point in my life. It was a profoundly effective exercise in feeling connected, fostering forgiveness, and creating a habit of thankfulness that follows me to today. My hope for readers is that they will be both entertained and motivated to undertake their own gratitude projects. It comes out in bookstores and via online retailers on Tuesday, December 3.
Publishers Weekly said, “Sweet and wise, this hopeful book will inspire readers to honor those who have made a difference in their lives.”
Here are The Thank-You Project facts:
The book is available now for pre-order wherever you buy your books – in local bookstores, on Amazon, on Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, etc. There will also be an audio version of the book available in early January, with me as your friendly narrator.
Each chapter of the book has a playlist included, and I put them all on Spotify. I’m releasing a new playlist each week leading up to December 3 on Spotify @daviskho. (You’ll also find all my Cat Club 80’s Alternative DJ sets there!)
There is a launch party! You are invited!
