This is an interesting book along the lines of "The Secret" kind of stuff, but was not a book that I found particularly engaging or useful. I struggled to finish it, and did not really enjoy it. It features "party games" that you're supposed to do in order to change your luck and outlook. It wasn't a good fit for me, but is likely to be enjoyed by people who enjoy this sort of book.

As the title suggests, Thank & Grow Rich is about cultivating gratitude. Certainly this isn’t a new idea, but it is a good book.
Author Pam Grout uses a fun tone to deliver her message. Whereas some gratitude books approach the topic with reverence, Thank and Grow Rich refers to its concepts as “party tricks” and presents the ideas in a way that seem fun and inviting, rather than just another thing to list off in your journal every day. It is this tone that kept me reading and set it apart from other self-help books on the same topic.
Yet, it isn’t overly fluffy either. Grout provides some really great ideas. One that I liked, in particular, was to start each day thinking your preferred variation of, “Something amazing will happen today.” This attitude sets you up to notice the good throughout the day.
Overall, this is a fun read and should be welcome on the shelves of self-improvement readers. It could also be a fun gift for fellow readers.

Really enjoy Pam Grout's work. She makes non-fiction fun!
