The premise is that John had an epiphany while he was hiking in the hills of LA on New Year’s Day. His story is about gratitude, but what did he have to be thankful for? How did this guy survive? What did he do to overcome adversity? I wanted to know more about his journey so I read on.
It’s easy to complain about your life until you have someone else’s life to compare to. He was an attorney and he couldn’t afford to pay his employees their Christmas bonuses because his clients weren’t paying their bills on time - and sometimes not paying them at all. He was miserable, broke, overweight, and on his second divorce living in a crumby apartment in LA with no air conditioning. It’s about a guy whose life was a disaster. I read the first 10 pages and it hit me like a ton of bricks.
I don’t know how it got on my book shelve, almost as if it was meant to be there. Recently, I stumbled on a book called A Simple Act of Gratitude by John Kralik. But I never practiced gratitude until then. Have I always been thankful for everything in my life? Of course.
