Practicing Gratitude is very much designed for the general reader. Besides adding stories, essays, and insights, we have eight new recipes for healthy meals that often are among the highlights of our day. We've also expanded a concluding section on how you might write your own essays. Throughout, we embraced the variety of writing styles and to let the differences in Canadian and US spelling represent our complementary perspectives. Gratitude is a key element of happiness. Practicing gratitude not only heightens the level of individual well-being, it also directly and positively affects others. Thus, practicing gratitude becomes a significant component of leading a life full of meaning and of effective leadership.
