More About This Book

Overview

"We can have happier and more joy-filled relationships if we focus on what's right about them rather than what's wrong," writes M.J. Ryan in Attitudes of Gratitude in Love, the follow-up to her bestselling Attitudes of Gratitude. In her characteristically down-to-earth style, Ryan shows you how to use the experience of gratitude to get back in touch with why you fell in love in the first place and how to deepen the love between you and your partner, no matter how long you've been together.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Conari Press cofounder M.J. Ryan admits that while it's easy to be grateful for sun, rain and good food, it's much harder to practice gratitude in intimate relationships. But adding gratefulness to a relationship can help remind people why they fell in love in the first place, fuel happiness and even deepen love. In Attitudes of Gratitude in Love: Creating More Joy in Your Relationship, Ryan (Attitudes of Gratitude) presents a multitude of brief essays on not taking love for granted, ditching feelings of resentment, the benefits of relationship gratitude and giving in order to receive. The book's boxy shape and colorful cover make it an appropriate gift. (Aug.) Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
Library Journal
Cofounder of Conari Press and coeditor of the "Random Acts of Kindness" series, Ryan returns with another little feel-good book. Radiating enough cheer to perk up Archie Bunker, this successor to the best-selling Attitudes of Gratitude spins positive angles on being grateful for the hard work that characterizes long-term relationships (e.g., "The more you're thankful, the more you'll receive"). Each section is simple if generic and features an epigraph purer than the text. Aimed primarily at married couples, it basically screams "gift book"; if similar material (e.g., Amy Dean's Night Light) spikes circulation at your public library, fine. Chicken Soup for the Soul? It's more like popcorn. Purchase as needed. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.

    Wise, practical book!

    This small book advocates a very simple but effective approach to improving relationships: focus on being grateful... My wife and I have enjoyed it immensely and found it very helpful and practical. It's written in small chunks with a good humorous tone, so lends itself to reading aloud to each other...
