Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Thank You. Can such small words hold life changing power? Yes!
Deborah Norville's groundbreaking and persuasive book argues that gratitude is the secret key to unlocking your full life potential. Rooted in science, presented from a spiritual perspective, Thank You Power details the surprising life improvements that can stem from the practice of gratitude.
Norville brings together for the very first time the behavioral and psychological research that prove what people of faith have long known: giving thanks brings life blessings. Beginning with those two small words, thank you, Norville shows how you can be happier and more resilient, have better relationships, improved health, and less stress.
The list of benefits is long. You'll exercise more, be more creative, bounce back more quickly from adversity, have a higher immune response, live longer, be better liked by others, and have more creativity in solving problems. Each of these outcomes is backed up by published research. The key? Gratitude.
Ever heard the one about being able to catch more flies with honey than vinegar? If you want to eliminate many of the negatives of daily stress and better deal with the realities of your day, then read on. Deborah Norville may have found the real secret to happiness. You'll find the answer inside.
--Dr. Mehmet Oz, Vice Chairman and Professor of Surgery, Columbia University; and Author, You Series
Deborah Norville has proven that resilience is a big part of success. Sucess is power-and Thank You Power is aptitude and attitude at their most efficient and, therefore, most effective. Deborah has done a wonderful job with a subject that is important for all of us.
--Donald J. Trump
We've all heard it before-count your blessings, concentrate on the positive, say thank you-but actually putting it in to practice and becoming a more grateful person can be easily pushed aside in this hurried world. Deborah Norville, in her latest book, Thank You Power, clearly lays out easy steps to put you on the path to a more positive lifestyle.
--Anthony Robbins, Best-Selling Author, Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power
Your mother was right! You should say thank you about almost everything! Why? Because as Deborah Norville's new book proves, being positive and grateful leads to a happier, healthier, more successful life. And by the way, thank you for reading this, and thank you, Deborah, for writing this book.
--Joan Rivers, Entertainer
What a refreshing, positive read! Thank You Power makes me want to do everything I can to be grateful for not only the big things but also the sometimes hard details of my life. This is a formula that can make the whole world a happier place in which to live!
--Harold G. Koenig, MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Associate Professor of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center
People who never complain, groan, or worry don't need this book. (They do need a lesson on honesty.) The other 99 percent of us will benefit from Deborah's practical and hopeful words. We need this message.
--Max Lucado, Pastor, Oak Hills Church; and Best-Selling Author, 3:16

I think Deborah Norville is a wonderful person, but this book was DULL and she's just not a very good writer. Her editor ought to be ashamed of him/herself as well, as the book is riddled with typos (very obvious ones, too). The book could have been distilled down to a chapter, and I felt that it was purposely stretched out to make a full book -- the same message and thoughts are repeated over and OVER and Deborah's writing style is just so boring, clichéd, and uninspired. Particulary horrible was an example Deborah gave about something "wonderful" she did for someone -- inspire her to buy a pair of cute pumps and put some makeup on! Now let's try to set a better example for our young girls in this country by not making them think clothes and makeup are prerequisites for happiness. Sure, the lady in the example felt better, but Deborah came off as if she had done something over-the-top generous for this woman. Um... she just told her to take care of herself by buing some feminine shoes and getting a little dolled up. Any-who, it's an OK read, but I wouldn't pay money for it. Find a $1 copy at your local book flea market and just read Chapter One.

Thank you Deborah... we can never have too much of the this 'positive thinking' attitude. It's time we focus on what we have to be grateful and thankful for and there's no doubt our lives will be transformed. If 'you think you can, you can; if you think you can't, you can't... Great book!Also read another fabulous book to continue your positive journey: Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbook

"The kingdom of heaven lies within," has nothing to do with religion, it means that each of us is responsible for our good and for our bad. Our thoughts create our experiences. Practicing gratitude creates positive experience.
I think that Dale Carnegie is the father of the self-help book, and he cleverly used an anecdotal style. Ms Norville does the same in Thank You Power; therefore, the work is reader friendly. It reads easy like good fiction, but the author backs up her claims by citing scientific evidence.
I have studied the Law of Gratitude for many years, but most self-help books are not fun to read so the truth goes largely unnoticed in our me, me, me society. This book is a quick read and the point is convincing.
I feel that I now know Ms Norville as a person; one who is cares about her fellowman. She doesn't go into why the Law works only that it does, but then most similar works fail in that regard too. In my lates novel, Standup Comedian: The Secret and Beyond I wrote, "The shortest distance from less to more is gratitude." I also explain why it works, but of course the reason given is just my opinion.

The Proverbs 17:22 tells us that "A happy heart is like good medicine, but a broken spirit drains your strength." Author Deborah Norville inadvertently expands on this verse and the many others in Proverbs about the benefits of having a "merry heart". This book is filled with stirring stories and research indicating how important it is to have a positive attitude and a grateful spirit; according to Norville, it will make us happier, healthier, and and better able to handle life's stressors.
This book is a good reminder to us to have a more positive attitude and to look at the happier side of life. Dwelling on the negative has no benefit, while dwelling on the positive can add to our healthy and give us prolonged quality of life.
Kudos to Norville for this timely reminder that being grateful does not only bless others but benefits us as well.

This short book (just 10 chapters) puts you in a better mood just for reading it - and it's practical for life. If you do the easy exercises suggested to implement Thank You Power, the book really comes to life in a meaningful way. It is well written, with numerous stories from individuals demonstrating the benefits of Thank You Power, so the book is interesting and holds your attention. Most of us, and society at large, would be happier by developing the skills to be more grateful and observant of the good in life, particularly as a way of counteracting the effects of 24/7 news of the horrible. I highly recommend this book.
