One recent December, at age 53, John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low: his small law firm was failing; he was struggling through a painful second divorce; he had grown distant from his two older children and was afraid he might lose contact with his young daughter; he was living in a tiny apartment where he froze in the winter and baked in the summer; he was 40 pounds overweight; his girlfriend had just broken up with him; and overall, his dearest life dreamsincluding hopes of upholding idealistic legal principles and of becoming a judgeseemed to have slipped beyond his reach.Then, during a desperate walk in the hills on New Years Day, John was struck by the belief that his life might become at least tolerable if, instead of focusing on what he didnt have, he could find some way to be grateful for what he had.Inspired by a beautiful, simple note his exgirlfriend had sent to thank him for his Christmas gift, John imagined that he might find a way to feel grateful by writing thankyou notes. To keep himself going, he set himself a goalcome what mayof writing 365 thankyou notes in the coming year.One by one, day after day, he began to handwrite thank yousfor gifts or kindnesses hed received from loved ones and coworkers, from past business associates and current foes, from college friends and doctors and store clerks and handymen and neighbors, and anyone, really, absolutely anyone, whod done him a good turn, however large or small. Immediately after hed sent his very first notes, significant and surprising benefits began to come Johns wayfrom financial gain to true friendship, from weight loss to inner peace. While John wrote his notes, the economy collapsed, the bank across the street from his office failed, but thankyou note by thankyou note, Johns whole life turned around.A Simple Act of Gratitude is a rare memoir: its touching, immediately accessible messageand benefitscome to readers from the plainspoken storytelling of an ordinary man. Kralik sets a believable, doable example of how to live a miraculously good life. To read A Simple Act of Gratitude is to be changed.
