If you enjoyed listening to The Little Book of Gratitude, The Secret, and Thanks: How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier, you will love Pinch of Gratitude: The Science and Secret to Creating an Inspired and Fulfilling Life.

Pinch of Gratitude shows you how to create a life in which every minute can be inspiring and fulfilling using a collection of the latest research studies into the scientifically proven benefits of gratitude, along with numerous exercises and techniques you can start today to change your life forever, backed by science-based research from some of the leading pioneers in the study of gratitude like Robert Emmons, Arthur C. Brooks, Rhonda Byrne, Bob Proctor, and many more.

Gratitude is considered the most powerful and impactful emotional state that we, as humans, can operate from. Backed by the science of positive psychology that defines gratitude in a way where scientists can measure its effects, this book thus argues that gratitude is more than feeling thankful: It is a deeper appreciation for someone or something that produces longer-lasting positivity.

When we are cultivating gratitude, we change the way we feel, which changes the way we act and hence our results. Gratitude has the power to recharge your energy, boosts your self-worthiness, and is directly linked to both your physical and mental well-being, leading you directly to happiness and working as the best remedy for anger, envy, and resentment.
