A Simple Act of Gratitude: How Learning to Say Thank You Changed My Life
Author: Kralik, John
Regularly $17.99, Today $2.99
Motivational Self-Help
One recent December, at age 53, John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low: his small law firm was failing; he was struggling through a painful second divorce; he had grown distant from his two older children and was afraid he might lose contact with his young daughter; he was living in a tiny apartment where he froze in the winter and baked in the summer; he was 40 pounds overweight; his girlfriend had just broken up with him; and overall, his dearest life dreams--including hopes of upholding idealistic legal principles and of becoming a judge--seemed to have slipped beyond his reach.
Then, during a desperate walk in the hills on New Yearās Day, John was struck by the belief that his life might become at least tolerable if, instead of focusing on what he didnāt have, he could find some way to be grateful for what he had.
Inspired by a beautiful, simple note his ex-girlfriend had sent to thank him for his Christmas gift, John imagined that he might find a way to feel grateful by writing thank-you notes. To keep himself going, he set himself a goal--come what may--of writing 365 thank-you notes in the coming year.
One by one, day after day, he began to handwrite thank yous--for gifts or kindnesses heād received from loved ones and coworkers, from past business associates and current foes, from college friends and doctors and store clerks and handymen and neighbors, and anyone, really, absolutely anyone, whoād done him a good turn, however large or small. Immediately after heād sent his very first notes, significant and surprising benefits began to come Johnās way--from financial gain to true friendship, from weight loss to inner peace.
Why Iām including this: John Kralikās story resonates because itās so relatableāa middle-aged man whose life has fallen apart in every possible way. What makes this book powerful is its simplicity: no complex self-help framework, no expensive program, just handwritten thank-you notes. Kralik documents his year-long experiment with honesty and humility, showing both the discipline it required and the genuine transformation it brought. This isnāt about magical thinkingāitās about actively changing your perspective and relationships through intentional gratitude. The format is practical enough that readers can replicate it, and the results Kralik experienced (better relationships, business opportunities, personal peace) feel authentic rather than exaggerated. Perfect for anyone going through a difficult time, skeptics of traditional self-help, or anyone who wants to make a meaningful change without spending money or overhauling their entire life. At $2.99, this is one of those books that could genuinely shift your perspective for less than the cost of a latte. šāØ
