In Attitudes of Gratitude (Conari Press, April 2009), M. J. Ryan teaches readers how to unlock the fullness of their hearts and lives through the expression of gratitude. "Gratitude helps us to return to our natural state of joyfulness," she writes, "where we notice what's right instead of what's wrong. It makes us feel complete, that we have everything we need, at least in this moment."

The concept of this book is very simple and very profound and it improves lives starting right now: "Gratitude creates happiness." It's a fact of life (and science as it turns out). Plants create carbon dioxide and gratitude creates happiness.
