Hello and welcome to the EnjoyHolistic.com interview series with your host, Ian Jones. Today I would like to welcome to the show my co-host and partner, Mark Chatterton. Over the years Mark has written several articles for the website and interviewed several of the top names in Spirituality and Metaphysics including Eben Alexander, Lorna Byrne, Diana Cooper and Anthony Peake. Today the tables are turned and Mark is going to be interviewed by me, particularly about his new book, The Power of Thankfulness. So welcome Mark.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROAtMxhb4KMBefore we talk about your book, TheSpiritGuides viewers will have noticed that you have been absent from the website in the past few years. Was there any particular reason for this?You have a degree in Theology from Oxford University. Did you choose that subject because you were into religion at the time and how has that experience shaped the belief system that you have today?You’ve recently written a book about Thankfulness, called “The Power of Thankfulness”. Where did the idea come from for the book?Could you explain to the listeners how you see Thankfulness as being different to Gratitude?What would you say are the benefits of Thankfulness if you practise it on a regular basis?There have been a lot of Scientific studies into Thankfulness and Gratitude, especially in the United States. Could you tell us about some of these?In your book you mention the idea of keeping a diary or journal to record your thankfulness experiences. How important is this?What else can readers find in the book?Currently we are in a Lockdown situation due to the Coronavirus pandemic both here in the UK and in many other countries of the world. Would you say that you can still be Thankful in this situation?Finally, what other books have you got on the horizon?
