Book Description
The Wilbur Award-winning book Grateful is now available in paperback and with an updated subtitle. If gratitude is good, why is it so hard to do? In Grateful, Diana Butler Bass untangles our conflicting understandings of gratitude and sets the table for a renewed practice of giving thanks. We know that gratitude is good, but many of us find it hard to sustain a meaningful life of gratefulness. Four out of five Americans report feeling gratitude on a regular basis, but those private feelings seem disconnected from larger concerns of our public lives. In Grateful, cultural observer and theologian Diana Butler Bass takes on this “gratitude gap” and offers up surprising, relevant, and powerful insights to practice gratitude. Bass, author of the award-winning Grounded and ten other books on spirituality and culture, explores the transformative, subversive power of gratitude for our personal lives and in communities. Using her trademark blend of historical research, spiritual insights, and timely cultural observation, she shows how we can overcome this gap and make change in our own lives and in the world. With honest stories and heartrending examples from history and her own life, Bass reclaims gratitude as a path to greater connection with god, with others, with the world, and even with our own souls. It’s time to embrace a more radical practice of gratitude—the virtue that heals us and helps us thrive.

Book Description
Columbus did not discover the Americas. However, what he and the conquistadors did accomplish make "Isis" look like Boy Scouts. Several people including Africans had traveled to the Americas long before Columbus. He initiated the genocide of millions of indigenous people and ushered in the Atlantic slave trade, introducing Africans providing free labor for hundreds of years. To justify this behavior lies had to be invented and perpetuated. Peaceful and resourceful Indigenous people were labeled cannibals and Africans as savages, with little positive effect on civilization. Contributions to civilization by many African Kingdoms and Empires over centuries had to be systematically ignored to ensure the maximum effect of the lies. The introduction of free African labor into Haiti created "The Pearl of the Antilles" supplying vast amounts of sugar coffee and indigo enriching the French coffers for one hundred years. This prosperity could have continued even after the French abolished slavery in 1794. Toussaint Louverture was one of the greatest men that ever lived. What he achieved is unimaginable leading an army consisting mainly of former slaves defeating French, British, and Spanish forces. Defending his country for over a dozen years from external and internal forces keeping his people free. The Haitian revolution was the catalyst that facilitated The Louisiana Purchase enabling the United States to instantly double in size. Inside the newly acquired territory, two different sets of people were slaughtered because of their economic success, the people who created The Black Wall Street and the Osage Indian Nation.
