Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Little Book of Gratitude
Dr Dr Robert A Emmons A PhD, PhD · 2024
80/100
👍 Worth It
When the world's leading gratitude researcher distills decades of peer-reviewed work into 96 illustrated pages, you get something genuinely worth keeping on a nightstand. The 8-week plan is actionable right away, and the science behind the exercises is real. Readers wanting a deep literature dive will need Emmons's longer books, but as a starter kit this is hard to beat.
