The Power of Appreciation: A New Approach to Personal and Relational Healing

Description

Going beyond “positive thinking,” the authors help readers to cultivate an appreciative stance toward life, and also learn how to practice appreciation as a lifelong virtue.  They shed new light on the connection between mind and moods, show how “depreciative thinking” saps our souls, and why the power of appreciation is the most important attitude needed today. Includes true stories, practical suggestions, and affirmations for daily living. The authors share narratives of appreciation in an attempt to alter the painful dissonance we may feel between our hopes and the reality of the difficult circumstances in which we find ourselves. Anyone who seeks a fresh impetus to his or her life will find encouragement in this invaluable presentation of appreciative living. [Auth Adrian van Kaam and Susan Muto / Pub Epiphany Books]
