Thanks! How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier by Robert A. Emmons
A book written about how gratitude can positively affect our health and attitude. This falls under the umbrella of "positive psychology" which focuses on how we can promote health (as opposed to focusing on treating disorders). The author, a professor at UC Davis, goes through scientific research on gratitude along with various philosophical, literary, and religious views on the topic as well. An inspiring book to read for the new year. The last chapter includes ten suggestions on how to move towards cultivating a more grateful attitude.

This sounds like a great book! I'm still reading Eat Pray Love. Hopefully, I'll have more time to read once we get back to our normal schedule.
I walk at Baylands park. It's almost like being away from the city. :)
