One of Oprah’s favorite quotes comes from German mystic Meister Eckhart. He
said, “If the only prayer you say in your entire life is ‘thank you,’ that
will be enough.” Oprah says when she started keeping a gratitude journal more
than 20 years ago, it was one of the most important things she’s done. The
daily practice of writing down five things to be grateful for balanced her
life in subtle and inspiring ways. "It sounds simple,” Oprah says, “but when
you go through the day staying conscious about what you put on your gratitude
list, it shifts the lens through which you see the world.” In this episode of
Super Soul, Oprah sits down with luminaries like Mark Nepo, Ram Dass,
Elizabeth Lesser, Reverend Ed Bacon, Tracey Jackson, Paul Williams, Geneen
Roth, Cheryl Strayed, Caroline Myss, Gretchen Rubin, Shawn Achor, Marie
Forleo, Lynne Twist, Louie Schwartzberg and Norman Lear to discover that the
practice of gratitude can elevate our lives to a state of grace. Interviews
with these talented writers, speakers and thought leaders are excerpted from
Oprah’s Emmy Award-winning show Super Soul Sunday. You can also find this
compilation and other insightful conversations in Oprah’s best-selling book
The Wisdom of Sundays.
