Many nights we would cuddle up on the couch, read a few chapters of the Greatfulness Guide and have this amazing discussion about what we have just learnt. My boys really absorbed the content, finding the "travel reference" really easy to relate to. This book will be re-read many times in my household, as it's packed with unlimited skills, possibilities and so much personal discovery. A beautiful book and such an important read, especially in today's busy world." Kelly (Parent to Matt, aged 12)
