Lower the Bar: Finding Gratitude in Life's Most Mundane Moments

This book is a hilariously irreverent take on gratitude, ditching the sappy clichés in favor of a sarcastic, honest, and downright ridiculous exploration of life's everyday absurdities. Instead of focusing on profound, heartwarming moments, the author revels in the overlooked and underappreciated-from the rare triumph of matching socks to the audacity of squirrels stealing birdseed.

Born from a social media experiment of daily gratitude posts that spiraled into a year-long challenge, this book embraces the chaos of life with wit and irony. It argues that gratitude doesn't have to be picture-perfect or profound-it can be begrudging, messy, and even funny. Through sharp observations and comedic reflections, the author makes a case for appreciating not just the big, obvious blessings, but the small, bizarre, and petty victories that keep us sane.

This is gratitude with an edge-a reminder that life is weird, unpredictable, and occasionally infuriating, but if we can learn to laugh at it, we just might find joy in the madness.
