As being grateful to others has been demonstrated as a quality which enhances well- being in life, this volume also can have practical benefit for its readers.
In Judaism, the chapter which Solomon Schimmel writes on here one ideally sees God as a Giver to whom we are to be in continual feeling of gratitude. And in fact the expression of gratitude is a central element in Jewish daily prayer. Rabbi Chaim Lifschitz of Jerusalem has spoken of it as the first moral quality.
In his introduction Emmons explains why 'Gratitude' has in fact been under- studied, and why this present volume is so timely. He also raises the questions related to Gratitude's definition and meaning- and also speaks about the vice of ingratitude- He too indicates how Gratitude has meaning and implication for both mental and physical well- being, how it plays a central part in major religious traditions, and also in the new Positive Psychology( Happiness Studies)
This volume gives a clear and varied sense of how important 'Gratitude' is in so many different areas of life and experience.
Its reader will be grateful for having it.
