This book review is part of a series that covers the topic of Gratitude. Gratitude is the outward manifestation of feelings of thankfulness and appreciation. Katherine Scherer & Eileen Bodoh are the Official Guides to Gratitude. The Power of Appreciation, by Noelle C. Nelson and Jeannine Lemare Calaba, is a valuable resource for people interested in Appreciation and it is available through Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
Appreciation is much more than a feel-good mantra, and much more than gratitude. Appreciation is an actual energy, functioning according to scientific principles, which can be harnessed by anyone to achieve success, happiness and fulfillment in every area of life:
Relationships
Finances
Health
Aging
Family
Through crisis situations...and more
The Power of Appreciation will open your eyes to the fabulous rewards of conscious, proactive appreciation. Based on a five-step approach, this book also includes color graphics illustrating the scientific impact of appreciation on the brain, important research supporting the positive effects of appreciation, and an examination of appreciation's influence on how we experience the world we live in.
Together Katherine and Eileen have participated in "The Twilight Brigade/Compassion in Action" training, Toastmasters, and numerous workshops. Following their mission to touch lives with the spirit of gratitude, their current projects include The I AM Foundation's MILLION BOOKS FOR KIDS CAMPAIGN, to help build self-esteem and raise literacy in children around the world, and their THREE FOR THIRTY CAMPAIGN, to donate books to women prisoners.
