In our fractured, "me-first" world, the science and practice of thankfulness could be just the antidote we need.

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. This book is the result of a multiyear collaboration between the Greater Good Science Center and Robert Emmons of the University of California, Davis, with essays based on new research and written by renowned positive psychologists and public figures.
