Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
My Gratitude Journal
Russ Terry · 2014
59/100
👎 Skip It
Terry's year-long gratitude practice is genuine and the 212 lessons drawn from it are at least authentic rather than generic. But this is a personal diary shared publicly, and without a connection to the author's world the entries are likely to feel remote to most readers. Self-published with no trade editorial polish and no mainstream critical validation, it sits in a crowded genre where better-known alternatives are easy to find.
