Gratefuling: A Stairway to Bliss, by Claude Needham, provides a comprehensive guide to developing a deeper connection to gratitude through a series of exercises.
The book is divided into three sections: Recognizing Gratitude, Inviting Gratitude, and Gratefuling – Gratitude Without Limits. The first section encourages readers to become aware of the gratitude that already exists in their lives through exercises such as journaling, letter writing, and mindful walks. The second section focuses on actively cultivating gratitude by performing random acts of kindness, exploring new cultures, and practicing self-care. The final section guides readers to cultivate a state of being where gratitude is accessible at will, regardless of external circumstances, through practices such as gratitude meditation, body scans, and gratitude breathing.
The book also includes a guide for creating a "Gratitude Board" as a visual reminder of the things for which one is grateful.
