review 1: Saat John Kralik putus asa atas segunung masalah yang menimpanya, ia mendengar suara dari gunung yang malah menyuruhnya untuk bersyukur selama setahun dari sekarang. Suara itu berjanji bahwa jika ia melakukan hal itu, hidupnya setahun dari sekarang akan berubah.John Kralik mengikuti suara misterius itu. Ia mulai menulis satu surat ucapan terima kasih tiap hari selama 365 hari berikutnya. Ini adalah perjalanan 365 hari dari seorang pria paruh baya yang mencoba bersyukur atas hidupnya. Dan sebagai ganti rasa syukurnya, ia pun memperoleh begitu banyak hal yang berharga. Begitu banyak sampai ia merasa rasa syukurnya belum apa-apa.
review 2: Can writing 365 thank you notes change your life? The author certainly thinks so. Facing one of the most difficult years of h... moreis life, feeling as if he had very little for which to be thankful, he started writing a thank you note every day. The notes ranged from simple "thank yous" for promises kept to the more "you really touched my life" variety. Although it's obvious that the author isn't a professional writer, and ignoring the fact that he seems a bit obsessed with the good that will come out of him writing these thank you notes (instead of merely putting the kindness out there, he seems to expect to have some karma-flavored "payback" for writing them in the first place), I can't help but be intrigued with the results of the "experiment." The author acknowledges how pessimistic he was in the beginning, but as he continued to write notes of gratitude, that attitude shifted into something that almost bordered optimism. It just goes to show that the attitude that one adopts when approaching obstacles and difficult circumstances can color how you see things.I'd recommend this book. less
