Listen to the best-selling book, "The Mechanics of Gratitude," by Chris Palmore, here every week.
Learn about the 5 stages of a gratitude practice.
Episode 1: Dedication, Forward, Introduction, & Chapter 1: Podcast
The Mechanics of Gratitude is a roadmap for individuals or organizations seeking healthier lives through gratitude. This book explains what to do, how to do it, and where to apply what you learn. Each of the stages of gratitude will guide you through your practice, taking it step by step, reflecting upon each stage with the understanding that all worthwhile practices take time to digest and implement.
Anyone, at any stage of their gratitude journey, whether beginner or expert, can benefit from The Mechanics of Gratitude and a more thorough understanding of The Five Stages of Gratitude as explained by the author. The more consistently a person practices it, the more they get from it. It’s like going to the gym and working out consistently every day versus going to the gym and working out once a week. Which one creates a better outcome? Consistency!
It’s like Alan Cohen says:
“Gratitude, like faith, is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it grows, and the more power you have to use it on your behalf. If you do not practice gratefulness, its benefaction will go unnoticed, and your capacity to draw on its gifts will be diminished. To be grateful is to find blessings in everything. This is the most powerful attitude to adopt, for there are blessings in everything.”
I’ve spent a considerable amount of time reflecting on the mechanics of gratitude, and, as I experienced and understood it, it can be categorized in terms of how it is learned, felt, and expressed. I’ve categorized gratitude as reflexive, intentional, emotional, relational, and catalyzing. - Chris Palmore
