What Is The Gratitude Book
Project®
and Why Should You Care?
The Gratitude Book Project® started out
as a seedling of an idea that quickly
grew into a blossom that has become a
whole blooming garden! A company
mission to guide “would-be writers” to
“published authors” turned out to be an
ideal partnership with the subject of
gratitude. It’s a great way to get started
in writing while celebrating the art of
appreciation.
The first edition, Celebrating 365 Days
of Gratitude, brought more than 300
people together to share their thoughts
and experiences about the power of
gratitude in their lives. In keeping with
the spirit of expressing appreciation and
giving back, net proceeds from national
sales were—and continue to be—
donated to charitable organizations.
From initial concept to Amazon #1 Best
Seller in only three short months, The
Gratitude Book Project® took on a life
of its own. Before the first copy ever
rolled off the presses, co-authors and
those who missed out on the project
were already asking for additional
publications dedicated to the people and
events in their lives deserving of special
recognition—leading to Celebrating
Moms & Motherhood, The Best of Pets,
A Celebration of Personal Heroes, and
My Favorite Christmas Memory. For
The Gratitude Book Project® team,
there was no turning back.
Silent or unexpressed gratitude won’t
hurt—but gratitude out loud and in
motion can be a life-changing event. An
entire network of like-
minded individuals from around the
world have come together as part of
this project and made it clear that
gratitude is alive and well and here to
stay!
Readers and co-authors everywhere
have made a commitment to themselves
and each other to ask and answer a
simple yet profound question every day:
“What am I thankful for?”
