Tai knyga, kurią reikia ne tik skaityti, bet ir praktikuoti. Skaityti ir mokytis dėkingumo. Kasdien. Tai knyga, kurią tikriausiai skaitysiu kelis kartus. Paprasta, bet išmintinga savo pagrindine mintimi ir išliekamąja verte.

Man patiko skaityti apie požiūrį į kitus nepanašius į mus žmones, apie pusiausvyrą pasaulyje ir ne tik.
O atradimas buvo tai, kad;- nėra pabaigos yra tik transformacija.

Žvelgiant į gyvenimą bei kasdienybę su Dėkingumu, viskas tampa daug lengviau, pozityviau, laisviau. Viskas tampa tarsi stebuklas kiekvienoje akimirkoje. Labai geras patarimas - išsiugdyti šį įprotį.

Nors iš pradžių knyga atrodė būsianti sudėtinga, bet skaitant toliau supratau, kokia ji iš tiesų nuostabi ir vertinga. Buvo be proto įdomu skaityti ir tikiuosi bent dalį jos galėsiu pritaikyti savo gyvenime.
O jei to per mažai, joje rasite kalnus be galo taiklių citatų…

The beginning of the book was challenging to get into because of the way he tells his life examples. Eventually you learn he was homeless at 13 and had to learn to read and write, so I wonder if that's why his stories are presented the way they are - a bit repetitive and undetailed. I also found myself questioning if they were true, but put aside that notion to focus on the theme of the book, which I got a LOT out of. Gratitude is essential to your life - I am a person who gets annoyed at toxic positivity, which Dr. Demartini actually agrees with - that there is balance between the negative and positives in our emotions and in nature. What inspired me the most is looking at gratitude as a way of getting relative (getting real) with reality. To be ungrateful is to have fantasies like "wish it would've been" "wish it could be" - which is not logical or helpful in life. Being grateful is taking inventory of what you have (which brings me instant satisfaction that you can call gratitude). I've described myself as someone who could be "neurotic", so books with colorful hearts on the cover and a title like "The Gratitude Effect" did make me cringe expecting I'd be reading a mushy emotional book, but I was wrong. If this book brought wisdom to someone like me, I'm sure it would benefit just about anyone. Being grateful is a new tool I am going to implement in my life.

Short but sweet book on gratitude and by how recognizing the good in everything in your life can thus, change your life.
Really felt the author did a great job of blending his personal experiences, his client's stories, coupled with philosophical ideas and exercises to help you understand the impact of gratitude.

Rašo pretenzingai, ilgais užgriozdintais sakiniais, norėdamas pateikti vieną paprastą mintį. Kai kuriose vietose prieštarauja pats sau.
Įspūdžiui sustiprinti pateikia anekdotinių pavyzdžių, cituoja pats save ir visur pasirašo daktaro laipsniu.
Patiks tiems, kas tiki, jog jų gyvenimą gali pakeisti magiški seminarai ar dar viena išganytojo knyga.

Prasminga knyga, tačiau turiniu sąlyginai panaši į knygą “Proveržio patirtis”. Nepaisant to, vertinga knyga, generuojanti kitokį požiūrį ir skatinanti “panirti” į vidinių pamąstymų/konfliktų jūrą

🧚‍♂️🙌Dr. John Demartini - Dėkingumo efektas 🙌🧚‍♂️

✔Verta dėmesio knyga❗

O, gal, tiksliau sakant - dėkingumo mokymo vadovas.

〰️Išties, niekada nebuvau susimąsčiusi, kiek gali jaučiamas dėkingumas pakeisti tavo esamą situaciją į gerą.💚

✔Autorius skatina net ir blogiausiomis akimirkomis pagalvoti apie dėkingumą, kad ir čia jo esama, kad ir čia jis reikalingas, nes be dėkingumo niekada neišmoksime savo klaidų ir vis jas kartosime, kol galiausiai vis tiek priartėsime prie esmės - dėkingumo pajautos.🙌

Dėkingumas santykiuose, darbe, finansuose, sveikatoje, tiesiog - gyvenime.

Knygą vertinu 4🌟 iš 5🌟❗

〰️Galėčiau duoti ir visas 5🌟, bet esu realistė, gan sunku tvirtai įtikėti dėkingumo svarba.

🌿Nors autorius teigia, kad šį jausmą pajutus 100%, iškart tavo gyvenimas pasikeis, aš manau, kad viskas veda prie minčių pakeitimo ir kontroliavimo. Kad net ir esant visiškoj duobėj įžvelgtume nors kruopelytę gėrio jame.💞

〰️John Demartini perėjo gyvenimo mokyklą ir sakėsi net kelis metus studijavęs tikrojo optimizmo kelią, kuris jam pačiam, deja, nepasiteisino...

✔Labai patiko man šis skyrius, beje. Jame John labai aiškiai išdėsto, kuo skiriasi gyvenimas pozityve nuo gyvenimo dėkingume. Tikrai pajutau tą skirtumą ir pritariu autoriaus teigiamai teorijai.

✔Ir išties, šis kūrinys fainas dėl to, kad yra daug tikrų istorijų (tikiuosi, kad jos ne iš piršto laužtos😃) bei sekantys paaiškinimai apie jas.

✔Dar puikus dalykas yra praktika, nes nesu teoretikė.

〰️Tad po teorinės dalies su tikros istorijos pagardu visad eina praktika (reikia tau pačiam turėti dienoraštį ir atsakyti kasdien į autoriaus pateiktus klausimus) bei afirmacijos, padedančios sustiprinti tavo užrašytus sakinius dėkingumo efektui pasiekti.

🙏Taigi, REKOMENDUOJU visiems, kas jaučiate, jog iki galo nesuprantate dėkingumo esmės.

🙏Taip pat REKOMENDUOJU tiems, kas nori pasikeitimų gyvenime, bet jiems dar nereikia kreiptis į psichologus pagalbos. Manau, ši knyga puikiai jums tiks, pakeis požiūrį į tam tikrus dalykus ir pamokys atjautos bei dėkingumo sau pačiam - ne dėl kažko, o dėl to, kad tiesiog esate.

⛔NEREKOMENDUOJU visiškiems realistams, kurie galvoja tik protu ir širdis yra giliai giliai įmigusi. Nors...gerai pagalvojus, rekomenduoju ir jums, galgi tai atšildys širdį iš žiemos miego?✔

🙌Kokios jūsų įžvalgos apie ,,Dėkingumo efektą"?🤔

Such an important book about the importance of gratitude that can help us in so many ways. This author has a great talent in helping you reframe almost anything to be grateful - really helps you enhance the perception of the reality of situations in the right way no matter what you face in your life. Great book - the type you can do with at the end of every year …

Are you grateful for everything you are, do, and have in all of the seven areas of life? If you're not, Dr Demartini seeks to balance your perceptions so you can appreciate the richness of your life. His goal is to bring you into a state of love and gratitude wherever you've placed blocks in your path to seeing these two things are the natural order of life. He works his way through the seven areas, sharing stories so you can appreciate the divine order. Each chapter ends with quality questions to ask yourself, affirmations to affirm, and action steps to take. When you do so, you will be more grateful for every event in your life.

A life changing book in my opinion. I discovered this book from 'unleash the millionaire within' and I immediately recalled John Demartini from the Secret. There was something powerful about listening to the Gratitude effect while reading and doing the exercises from Unleash the Millionaire Within. Experimenting with both books simultaneously brought on this kind of 3 dimensional learning.
I'm still working on the exercises from Unleash the Millionaire Within and recommend both books.

This book came to me unexpectedly and I’m so glad it did! My gosh, what a beautiful concept to write about. I absolutely loved it! I enjoyed the questions and affirmations that he includes at the end of the chapters; it really gets you thinking. Lastly, I like that he provides a “balanced” perspective on life, thereby eliminating a dualistic view.

Kitap diğer okurlar tarafından çok beğenilmiş ama sürekli bir şeyler için şükreden biri olarak bana yeni bir şey kattığını söyleyemeyeceğim. Yine de eksiklerimi tamamlamak konusunda yol gösterici olduğu için şükran duyuyorum. Genel olarak memnuniyetsiz bir yapınız varsa bu kitaptan epey bir şey öğrenebilirsiniz. =)

Great book that can help you to think more consciously about how we approach our lives.

Being grateful is one of those underrated tasks and demartini uses parable, story and theroetical knowledge to explain how you can apply this to your own life.

Hayatımınız her anına dair şükürler edilecek şeyler vardır. Sahip olunan o kadar çok varlığımız var ki çoğunun farkında bile değiliz. Yokluk var olduktan sonra kaybetme ile anlaşılır. Farkındalık ise erdemlilik göstergesidir. Şükür yaşamdaki mutluluğun yegane ilacıdır.

Lo encontre por casualidad, y me llevo a todo un nuevo nivel de entendimiento, que toda experiencia es completa y perfecta, y poder ver con gratitud tanto lo que me apoya como lo que me desafia. Abrio mis ojos a una nueva optica, la de la no dualidad.

One of the BEST books I’ve ever read. I read it during the explosion of tiktok and it helped me tremendously deal with haters comments as my videos were going viral and received some haters comments. It’s a book I’d buy my kids to help shape their mindset for resilience

Knyga iišleista lietuvių kalba. Tai vadovas dėkingumo praktikos. Kiekvienos dienos padėkos įpročiui ugdyti, suvokti kodėl tai svarbu sau pačiam ir aplinkiniams. Paprastai ir aiškiai bei nuoširdžiai.
