This book provides clear and sometimes surprising answers to why gratitude is important to living well. The science of gratitude has shown much growth in the last ten years, and there is now sufficient evidence to suggest that gratitude is one of the most important components of the good life. Both correlational and experimental studies have provided support for the theory that gratitude enhances well-being. After providing a lucid understanding of gratitude, this volume explores the many aspects of well-being that are associated with gratitude. Moreover, experimental work has now provided promising evidence to suggest that gratitude actually causes enhancements in happiness. If gratitude promotes human flourishing, how does it do so? This issue is addressed in the second section of the book by exploring the mechanisms that might explain the gratitude/well-being relationship. This book provides an up to date account of gratitude research and suggested interesting paths for future research, all while providing a theory of gratitude that helps make this information more understandable. This book is very valuable to gratitude investigators, as well as all who are interested in pursuing this line of research, students and scholars of emotion and well-being and instructors of positive psychology courses and seminars.

Dr. Emmons, editor-in-chief of the "Journal of Positive Psychology," puts Albert Schweitzers famous dictum Gratitude is the secret to life to a rigorous scientific test. The author draws on the first major study of the subject to show how the cultivation of gratitude can measurably change peoples lives.

In our fractured, “me-first” world, the science and practice of thankfulness could be just the antidote we need. Gratitude is powerful: not only does it feel good, it’s also been proven to increase our well-being in myriad ways. The result of a multiyear collaboration between the Greater Good Science Center and Robert Emmons of the University of California, Davis, The Gratitude Project explores gratitude’s deep roots in human psychology—how it evolved and how it affects our brain—as well as the transformative impact it has on creating a meaningful life and a better world. With essays based on new findings from this original research and written by renowned positive psychologists and public figures, this important book delves deeply into the neuroscience and psychology of gratitude, and explores how thankfulness can be developed and applied, both personally and in communities large and small, for the benefit of all. With contributions from luminaries such as Sonja Lyubomirsky, W. Kamau Bell, Arianna Huffington, and many more, this edited volume offers more than just platitudes—it offers a blueprint for a new and better world.

"Double Gratitude" is a sequel to my fore-book on gratitude titled, "The Fortitude Of Gratitude". This book is focused on how to render acceptable thanksgiving and appreciation to qualify for the fortitude that gratitude provides. It teaches that gratitude not well expressed is ingratitude well exposed. It goes further to enlighten the reader that to possess the attitude of gratitude whereby one is always thankful and appreciative of things and people is not enough, as what matters most is to render gratitude and show appreciation in the appropriate way and manner to make it acceptable. Gratitude alone, therefore, is not enough. Acceptable gratitude is what counts at the end of the matter. That is to say that one's gratitude and appreciation must be acceptable. In other words, your acts of gratitude and expression of appreciation must be rendered in a way and manner that is acceptable for them to be accepted. It must be done with an acceptable attitude and appropriate magnitude. That's the core focus of this book: to show you how to always render acceptable gratitude. In the fore-book, I revealed how '"Gratitude is man's shortest memory" is one wise saying that can't be gainsaid or controverted."' What it means is that "people have a short memory when it comes to expressing gratitude - that is when it comes to giving thanks and, or showing appreciation. They easily remember the ills done to them than recall the good they've enjoyed." I went further to state that "As a result of this pungent attitude of ingratitude, a great number of people rarely give thanks and scarcely show appreciation for whatever good that comes their way but will readily remember to bemoan any evil they've suffered. In other words, they rarely appreciate favors but will readily castigate faults and wrongdoings." However, the issue in "Double Gratitude" is not about the lack of the attitude of gratitude or the deficit in expressing the same but the inappropriateness, impropriety, and inadequacy of gratitude which culminate in the rejection of gratitude. It reveals the pains and sad feelings of having one's gratitude rejected and compares it to the pitiable state of thankless ingrates - who don't express gratitude because of their lack of attitude of gratitude. It wonders what happens to ingrates who are thankless and don't show gratitude when grateful fellows still suffer consequences because their acts of gratitude and appreciation are not accepted. Chapter One, titled, "The Magnitude Of Ingratitude" highlights the causes of ingratitude; that is, reasons why people are ungrateful, stressing further how ingratitude, just like gratitude, is an effect that has causes. Chapter Two, titled "The Destitute In Ingratitude" reveals the consequences of being ungrateful, explaining that ingratitude is the attitude of the spiritually destitute, hence the need to cultivate the attitude of gratitude so as not to end up destitute. Chapter Three: "The Latitudes Of Gratitude" teaches how to render acceptable gratitude, as not all acts of gratitude are accepted. It points out the fact that gratitude must be rendered in a way and manner as prescribed for it to be accepted and wonders what will be the lot of ingrates (who don't show gratitude at all) when not all acts of those who express gratitude are always accepted. Chapter Four is titled, "Double Gratitude". It explains a special brand of gratitude that many are unaware of - the ignorance of which has caused untold hardship, troubles, disaster, and destruction for not a few people. In all, you will learn many other new things about gratitude: thanksgiving and appreciation that will further enlarge your wisdom base, for all the remaining days of your life.
