A 30-day journey to genuine gratitude
The accompanying workbook takes you on a gentle 30-day journey to genuine gratitude. Inspired by Zen, Tao, and Buddhism, it combines mindfulness, reflection, and warmth of heart to practice gratitude every day. Step by step, you will discover how small rituals can bring big changes into your life.
Eric van Lux is an author who has dedicated his work to discovering the quiet yet transformative power of gratitude. His path has been shaped by personal challenges, reflection, and a deep curiosity about what truly gives life meaning. Instead of viewing gratitude merely as politeness, he presents it as an inner compass that opens hearts, builds trust, and provides guidance even in difficult times. With his books The Magical Effect of Genuine Gratitude and In 30 Days to Magical, Genuine Gratitude, Eric van Lux combines practical exercises with timeless wisdom from Zen, Tao, and Buddhism.
His approach is simple, human, and deeply relatable: gratitude is not just an idea, but a practice that can be lived every single day.
Through his writing, Eric aims to inspire more than just personal transformation. His vision is that gratitude can also become a social movement—one that fosters peace, respect, and mutual understanding across cultures, generations, and nations. In his eyes, every “thank you” is a contribution to a kinder and more connected world.
