Gratitude is a powerful emotion that has been shown to improve our well-being in a variety of ways. The Gratitude Project, the result of a multiyear collaboration between the Greater Good Science Center and Robert Emmons of the University of California, Davis, investigates 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 living a meaningful life and making the world a better place.

This important book delves deeply into the neuroscience and psychology of gratitude, and explores how thankfulness can be developed and applied, both personally and in communities large and small, for the benefit of all, with essays based on new findings from this original research and written by renowned positive psychologists and public figures.

This edited volume, which includes contributions from luminaries such as Sonja Lyubomirsky, W. Kamau Bell, Arianna Huffington, and many others, offers more than platitudes—it offers a blueprint for a new and better world.
