People who practice being grateful show significantly higher levels of happiness and psychological well-being, research shows. They are less depressed, less anxious, less stressed and report having less symptoms of physical pain. They have more success at work and have higher self-esteem. They have better relationships too.

Just two consecutive weeks of daily gratitude practice has lasting positive effects on one’s mood and level of optimism – that last for up to six months.  Gratitude is a huge psychological booster.​

Keith Hartzell begins his memoir by explaining why he decided to write this book. After serving 16 years on the Ocean City council, he lost a close election for Mayor. Having more time, he began reminiscing with a friend about how much his family and the town of Ocean City meant to him. He was struck by how fortunate and grateful he felt for the life given to him by God. His friend suggested he write a book to share his stories and lessons learned.

All proceeds from book to benefit the historic Tabernacle Baptist Church in Ocean City, NJ.

"This book is probably the first and last book next to the Bible you will ever have to read to understand gratitude and its meaning. When I heard the author on the radio explain his book and belief in our Lord Jesus I felt compelled to buy and read this."
