July 16, 2010
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—Lately, gratitude has achieved recognition for its dramatic results on physical, mental and emotional well being, especially with the release of the movie, “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne, and such books as The Vision Board: The Secret to an Extraordinary Life by Joyce Schwarz.
In honor of the power of gratitude, from July 19 to 23, “Gratitude Week” will take place on the Gab with the Gurus Radio Show, which is hosted by life coach, health counselor, author and journalist Connie Bennett.
Every day of “Gratitude Week,” Bennett will interview bestselling authors, recognized researchers and gratitude practitioners, who will share various angles on the benefits of being thankful.
Although the shows air live at 2 pm Eastern, free podcasts are available almost immediately after the shows air. (You also can access the show on iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/gab-gurus-with-connie-bennett/id290617732.)
During “Gratitude Week” on Gab with the Gurus – which airs on Blog Talk Radio — listeners will discover:
- Why gratitude is the ultimate anti-depressant.
- How easy it is to make gratitude a daily habit.
- How gratitude can reverse the obesity epidemic.

- What’s on the Gratitude Lists of Alicia Keys, Sheryl Crow, Dolly Parton, BB King, Kurt Vonnegut, Elmore Leonard, Morgan Freeman, Jeff Bridges, Francis Ford Coppola, Kristen Bell, Forest Whitaker, NBA great Steve Nash and Deepak Chopra.
- How gratitude can enhance happiness, optimism, self-empowerment and connectedness.
- How being grateful helps combat grouchiness, reduce stress and pain, trigger creativity, increase spirituality and resolve challenging situations by focusing on what’s working instead of what’s not.
- How love and relationships flourish where there’s gratitude and forgiveness.
- How to feel grateful even if you’re having a difficult day, month or year
- How gratitude helps people accomplish their goals.
- How gratitude affirms life’s purpose.
“Gratitude Week” was inspired by Bennett’s scary, head-on collision into a large piece of glass on July 4.
“I’m just grateful to be alive. My near-death incident made me realize how fortunate I am and how we all can benefit from learning more about the power of gratitude,” adds Bennett.
“My intention with these `Gratitude Week’ shows is to help listeners become happier, healthier and independent of their bad habits and addictions.”

Special thanks to the charming Nora Firestone, founder of ThankingOfYou.com, for her kindness and generosity. During a day I’ve been beset by headaches and dizziness, she helped edit this press release. Not only that, but she even posted the press release on some sites. Wow! I’m so grateful.
