Thanks For What? is a book designed to help you find the "why" of your life, and transform your life through the power of gratitude. It's about how to live a happy life with the freedom of gratitude. This work by Dr. Carol Dweck, PhD is a guidebook of sorts for the process of learning, how it works, and what you need to do to experience gratitude in your everyday life.
