Stop Complaining: Start Thanking

by J.P. Vaswani

Complaints, criticism, passing the buck shifting the blame onto others…Has this not become a way of life for many of us? We find one thousand things that are wrong with life and people and the way the world functions. Oh, yes, we are very good at judging, evaluating, criticizing and finding fault with everything, everyone and the system! Allow us a little rope, and we can actually lecture to God on what is wrong with His plan and His management of our world! Indeed, we have become experts, past masters in the art of complaining and criticizing; champions in that familiar game of passing the buck. But, at the end of the day,. Has this mastery, this special skill that we have honed and polished into a veritable art, brought us any joy or satisfaction ? When we have successfully and loudly judged and accused everyone, are our problems anywhere near to being solved? Are we at peace and contented with our singular achievement?

Good message.

[Miguel · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good and very positive book one should read once in a while; if everyone reads it, the world will become a better place to live in, for sure.
Even if the author asks the reader to thank God, one can consider thanking himself and everyone for the good things that one has and goes through, not being a believer.

[Patrycja · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is short read about positive thinking and thanking and be grateful for what we have. Many wise words and pointers to help us live better, more happy life. "...in this mad race of wanting what we don't have, many of us overlook what we have to be thankful for."
We do complain too much. For sure. Instead of complaining we should try the attitude of gratitude.
(There are also exercises at the end of the book for every day of a month.)
