Lisa Ryan
Book Description
One of the downsides of life is that we rarely have to deal with an overabundance of gratitude. Most of us tend to focus on the negative. We don’t receive nearly as much acknowledgment as we would like, and we don’t give as much recognition as others deserve.
Now for the upside! When we learn to harness the power of gratefulness, we can make a major positive difference in so many areas of our lives, as well as the lives of those around us. The Upside of Down Times is your first step toward making that happen.
Internationally recognized gratitude expert, motivational speaker and best-selling author, Lisa Ryan, shares her journey to harnessing the power of gratitude through research, anecdotes, and personal stories. Personal interviews conducted by Ms. Ryan showcase the power of appreciation in four specific areas using the acronym SHOW. She reveals the effect of thankfulness on the SELF – your perspective, how you look at the events/circumstances in your life. She’ll address the HEALTH benefits and positive physical impact. She’ll reveal how gratitude improves our relationships with OTHERS, and finally, she’ll divulge the influence of gratitude on our WEALTH, leading to bottom-line results for business.
You’ll discover:
• How a consistent gratitude practice helps you find good in all situations, no matter what
• The #1 reason customers stop doing business with a company.
• How to strengthen your immune system in just five minutes a day.
• The importance of maintaining a 5:1 positivity ratio for health relationships
You’ll have the opportunity to participate in your own journey with reflection questions and activities at the end of each chapter. By the time you’ve gone through this book, you will notice a difference. And if you don’t – others will!
