This Issue:
1.
My Gratitude to You Dear
CTH Readers, You
may be scanning or reading the CTH now. You may have listened to
our CTH conference calls the past two years. You may be planning
to hear Bob Emmons on 12/28 or to listen online in the coming weeks.
However you connect with CTH, you are investing your scarcest resource--your attention and time. For this, I'm grateful, and, as Seth Godin notes, I should be paying you. I hope I can continue to be worthy of your attention in 2008. Thanks
for a great year, Ben P.S.
Here's a small, special-link discovery
present to you as 2008 rolls in. If you love film and a director
at his best. I, myself, was totally taken in and loved it. <><><><><><>
2. "Gratitude as 2008 Begins". A Conference Call with Robert A. Emmons. 12/28/07

Emmons'
summary of the research indicates that gratitude practices can increase
the set range of happiness by up to 25%. This
is so impressive. Tonight, a colleague, Bob Siegfried, upon finishing
Emmons' book, concluded that gratitude practices may be the sine qua
non of happiness interventions. For
those familiar with research on gratitude, the gratitude letter and gratitude
journal are powerful but, in positive psychology years, quite old.
I
am so excited to announce that Bob Emmons will be debuting a new MentorCoach
Master Class on "Beyond the Letter and Journal: Nine
Practices for Gratefulness."
