Sunrise Gratitude: 365 Morning Meditations for Joyful Days All Year Long by Emily Silva
5.0
I am never been very involved in meditation. I heard that my busy life would probably benefit from it, but part of me thinks that either it would not make any difference, or it would just put me to sleep. Emily Silva’s book Sunrise Gratitude surely does not teach you how to meditate, or makes the usual list of all the benefits you can gain from meditating every day.
Instead, it takes you on this daily voyage of self-consideration. For every day in one year, Emily invites you to reflect on your life, on your feelings, on the way you react to worse times, and on the little light that always shines even in the darkest moments. I call it a voyage because five lines of text every morning are able to bring you ponder about your life and how to better it in the most marvelous ways, and your mind plays with it all day long. I have taken the habit of reading the daily passage in the morning and then I just focus on its message for 5 minutes, while sipping my coffee. It gives me a certain energy that makes me start the day with the right foot. I do not know if this can be truly defined as meditation, but if it is, I can declare that meditation, then, made my days happier.
In this peculiar time, when much in our lives has been questioned and radically and suddenly changed, this book could become a beacon in the dark, a guide to find the better moments in life even in the darker days.
I would like to thank Quarto Publishing and NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
