"An immensely readable book about a very complex notion ... this is
the first time gratitude has been considered from the perspective
of teachers in educational contexts and brings the abstract into
the praxis of everyday relational dilemmas in education. This makes
the book potentially ground breaking ... [the author] has written a
unique text that makes an important contribution to the growing
literature on positive education." -- in: The Journal of Positive
Psychology
"This is an extraordinary book. It takes us on a journey of
discovery about the powerful effects of the practice of gratitude
by the author and many teachers and students ... I believe that
after reading the book many teachers and students will do things
differently next time they step in the classroom. They will be more
grateful for the opportunity. They will better balance their giving
and receiving. They will be more empathic and humble, accepting
that 'we are not perfect, and so we have no right to judge or
criticize others or, importantly, ourselves.'" -- Dr Jan Libich, La
Trobe University, Australia
