10 of the Best Books About Gratitude

I’m repurposing a post from 2018 today. Since it’s Thanksgiving week, it’s time to talk about gratitude again!

Two years ago, my dear friend Amber (of Kingfisher Coaching and Retreats) and I taught an afternoon workshop we called The How & Why of Establishing a Gratitude Practice.

In my Grateful Every Day shirt, ready to start the workshop!

Several women joined us for a look beyond the buzzword “gratitude,” to explore what it truly means and how it can affect our lives.

Gratitude is the act of noticing and appreciating all the good things in your life. So from there, a gratitude practice is training yourself to notice and appreciate positive things, then being thankful for them.

In theory, it’s pretty simple, but training yourself to focus on finding the positive, instead of the negative things going on around you, takes practice and commitment, especially in the midst of a global pandemic!

Defining what gratitude isn’t is equally important.

A gratitude practice is NOT:

  • Denial. We’re not ignoring negative things necessarily, just not giving them as much energy/focus. Or are putting them in perspective.
  • Being a Pollyanna, “Everything is always great!”. Sure, I believe gratitude leads to positivity and optimism, but it doesn’t mean we’re that way 24/7.
  • Wearing rose colored glasses: An optimistic perception of something, often thinking of it as better than it actually is.
  • Dismissing bad things with “at least…”  (You broke your leg? Oh well, at least you’re alive.) It’s okay to acknowledge how much it sucks to have a broken leg. Then look around and notice the friends who are visiting, the beautiful flowers someone sent, the novel you can finish or the Netflix show you can binge on while you’re on bed rest.

It is totally okay to acknowledge when we’re feeling low, angry, sick, sad. It’s about acknowledging those feelings without wallowing in them for an unhealthy extent. Again, during a pandemic, this has been particularly challenging for me.

As part of the workshop, we discussed books on the subjects of gratitude, happiness, and habit development, particularly those which have been helpful on our own journeys.

I’m sharing that list here, with a few newer ones added on, for you to explore if you’re looking for some inspiration  and guidance!
