Reader reviews for Wake Up Grateful: The Transformative Practice of Taking Nothing for Granted

From the publisher

This practical and inspiring program is filled with guiding principles, reflections, exercises, and meditations for making gratitude a daily practice, especially during uncertain and challenging times.

Is it possible to be grateful in challenging times? Our wellbeing depends on it, but how do we achieve it? In Wake Up Grateful, Kristi Nelson, executive director of A Network for Grateful Living, unlocks the path to recognizing abundance in every moment, no matter the moment. With questions for reflection, daily exercises, and perspective prompts, Nelson introduces readers to the benefits of a daily gratitude practice. Using the story of her own cancer experience as a touchstone, Nelson provides deep insight and help in finding resilience and wellbeing in the face of life's uncertainties and offers the promise of profound personal change.

From the rear cover

What would it mean to truly take nothing for granted?

As you go about your days, it is easy to get stuck in a mindset of anxiety and scarcity - I'll be grateful when I have more money and time, when I am happier and healthier, or when the world around me is more peaceful ... While you may already be drawn to the benefits of mindfulness and gratitude, how could you use gratitude to help you find well-being without having to wait for change? How could you live all of your moments with greater appreciation and fewer regrets?

When Kristi Nelson, executive director of A Network for Grateful Living, was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer at age 33, she realized that every day was truly a gift - and just how easy it is to take that gift for granted.

Luckily, you don't have to experience a frightening wake-up call in order to nurture a grateful perspective. Nelson invites a deep exploration of what it means to open yourself to the gifts already available to you. With exercises, prompts, meditations, affirmations, and inspiration, you have the tools for bringing this powerful practice into your daily life and waking up to the abundance life has to offer, right here and now.
