Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Attitudes of Gratitude in Love : Creating More Joy in Your Relationship
M. J. Ryan · 2023
🎙 Narrated by Elizabeth Wiley
72/100
👍 Worth It
Penny appreciated that M.J. Ryan brings real credentials and a proven prior bestseller to this one, plus a foreword from a respected relationship author. The two-part structure (mindset, then concrete practices) is genuinely useful for couples, and it earned a nod from a credible spirituality/self-help outlet. The narration is a real highlight too — Elizabeth Wiley is an AudioFile Earphones Award winner, so this is worth the listen.
