Gratitude
The four authors of this slim, accessible book provide complementary insights, inviting us to a deeper appreciation of the essential and transformative role of gratitude in our lives, revealing to us truths about ourselves, our relations to one another, and ultimately, our relationship to God.
The person who is filled with gratitude toward God, whose life is permeated by this primary attitude of gratitude, is also the only person who is truly awake.
Dietrich von Hildebrand
Reviews & Commentary
From scholars, students, and readers
Hildebrand’s insights are always luminescent, exalting. Whether he is writing about the evidential power of beauty or about value as the grounding of ethical action, Hildebrand gets to the heart of the spiritual problems that underlie all of our lives if we want to live as spiritually aware and mindful human beings rather than cogs in a machine (and this, as it turns out, is what gratitude is all about).
Dr. Mark Spencer—Hildebrand Project Associated Scholar—speaks on how gratitude is manifested in human life; specifically, how it manifests in the life of a person living authentically and virtuously.
