In the space of a few weeks, Sue Barrett lost her dad and had her trust betrayed by a person who left her business and took a deal worth $300,000 along with them.
In mourning and trying to rescue her business, being grateful was far from her mind. That is until a friend prompted her to do a gratitude diary exercise on Facebook for five days. She would continue to write her diary for 142 days.
This book is about how this daily practice helped her overcome challenging times and opened her heart and mind to the profound power of gratitude as a force for personal and social good.
It’s not your typical business book, memoir or self help book. It’s a combination of all 3 underpinned by a bit of science and philosophy as well.
