THE GREATFULNESS GUIDE
A practical roadmap to help young minds to flourish.
If life is a journey, then this book is a must‑stop destination for every child preparing for their teenage years. The Greatfulness Guide is a hands‑on, interactive resource that lays the foundations for mental fitness and life‑long wellbeing. Written for children aged 8–14, this guide equips them with the tools for how to think; rather than being told what to think.
Filled with engaging activities, real‑life success stories (including Novak Djokovic, Mel Robbins and Michelle Payne), this book teaches young people to build resilience, self‑awareness and self‑leadership. Based on the Greatfulness wellbeing program; which has been taught to thousands of children in Australia and beyond; this is a resource trusted by educators and parents alike.
Key features:
- A practical, step‑by‑step “map” for thinking clearly, managing feelings, bouncing back from challenges and thriving.
- Interactive activities, journal prompts and guided reflections that make self‑discovery fun and actionable.
- Real‑world examples from high‑performers and everyday heroes to inspire authentic growth and self‑belief.
- Designed for use at home or in the classroom-equally valuable for children, parents and educators.
In a world of distractions, pressure and constant change, young people need more than just facts; they need mindset skills. The Greatfulness Guide gives them that edge: the ability to understand their inner world, shape their responses and step confidently into whatever comes next.
praise for the greatfulness guide
“I loved the Greatfulness Guide – how I wish as a young person someone had shared the power of thinking this way with me!
The interviews and studies of eminent people provided real examples of how regular people can achieve and become amazing things once they set their mind to it.
The journey this book takes you on is a real adventure for the mind and the guide is fun and simple to follow.”
“What a great book!
The Greatfulness Guide is a much-needed road map to help us through these challenging times.”
“Reading this book with my two boys (aged 12 & 10) was such a joyful experience. Many nights we
would cuddle up on the couch, read a few chapters of the Greatfulness Guide and have this amazing discussion about what we have just learnt.
My boys really absorbed the content, finding the “travel reference” really easy to relate to.
This book will be re-read many times in my household, as it’s packed with unlimited skills, possibilities and so much personal discovery.
A beautiful book and such an important read, especially in today’s busy world.”
“Wow, this book is life changing.
It’s really helped me understand how my mind works and has given me the confidence that I can overcome any future challenges.”
