The idea

This unique online-course provides the reader with everything that Alfred R. Stielau-Pallas has discovered is necessary to lead a happy and fulfilled life. But don’t just take our word for it. It’s been scientifically proven, that thankfulness can make you healthier and happier. You can find out more about the scientific facts here.

Sounds too good to be true? Well, we never said you didn’t have to put some effort into it yourself. Every weekday, you’ll receive an email that will take you about 10-15 minutes to read and work through and every Saturday you’ll receive a summary of the weeks exercises that will let you reflect on everything you have discovered. All in all you’ll receive 72 emails over 84 days.

To help you get on the right track, and also make the experience more fun, we’ve set up whyiamthankful.com where you can let everyone know what you’re thankful for. And, of course, you’ll be able to see just what others have achieved as well. While this might not sound like much at first, you’ll soon find out for yourself just how addictive and inspiring it really is. Let’s face it, if all of the promises that were made in the success books, seminars and whatever else most of us have tried before had really worked, then:
Why aren’t we all millionaires yet?
Why are we not fulfilled yet?
Why is something still missing in our lives?
And most importantly, why do we still have the feeling, that this can’t be all that our lives have to offer us?!
Therefore, these are the things we are not going to do:
We’re not going to tell you about religion, and what you should believe in.
We’re not going to tell you how to become a millionaire.
We’re not going to tell you about an incredible new theory, that will magically make your life better without any effort.
We’re certainly not going to tell you how to get rich overnight.
We’re not going to tell you about whatever is currently the “in” thing to do.
We are however, going to tell you about the most important idea – a single word – that can help anyone live a happier, more fulfilled and meaningful life.

The science

If you search for psychoneuroimmunology, you’ll find countless articles and studies on this fascinating new field of research. Please note: These articles are just a selection of what’s online, and are for information only. They are not intended to imply endorsement of our course by the authors.
Prof. Dr. Roger Booth, at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, has found a direct correlation between dealing with the past (and having a sense of purpose) and how strong the person’s immune system is.

Here’s an excerpt of the article:
“We found that subjects assigned to write about personal traumatic events over four consecutive days developed significantly higher antibody levels against hepatitis B vaccine over the subsequent six months than did subjects assigned to write about trivial topics. In other work we have found differential effects on immune variables depending on whether people express or suppress their thoughts about upsetting issues.”

He goes on to say:
“The manner in which people handle emotional issues in their lives is known to affect their health. Our work suggests that emotional disclosure may influence immune responsiveness as well as having general health benefits.”

Here is an excerpt of an article from the National Center for Biotechnology Information, written by S.E. Taylor and his colleagues:
“Psychological beliefs such as optimism, personal control, and a sense of meaning are known to be protective of mental health. Are they protective of physical health as well? The authors present a program of research that has tested the implications of cognitive adaptation theory and research on positive illusions for the relation of positive beliefs to disease progression among men infected with HIV. The investigations have revealed that even unrealistically optimistic beliefs about the future may be health protective. The ability to find meaning in the experience is also associated with a less rapid course of illness. Taken together, the research suggests that psychological beliefs such as meaning, control, and optimism act as resources, which may not only preserve mental health in the context of traumatic or life-threatening events but be protective of physical health as well.”
