Steve Foran has been writing and conducting practice-based gratitude research and teaching the habits of Gratefulness for more than fifteen years. Surviving to Thriving: The 10 Laws of Grateful Leadership explores how anyone can master gratitude and create the life of their dreams. Offering an in-depth look at the reasons why many people struggle to move beyond a life of survival, feeling unfulfilled, exhausted, and like there’s never enough time in the day, Surviving to Thriving goes one step further to provide a simple yet revolutionary solution: What if we could all transform our lives by building habits that don’t take any more time in your day than brushing your teeth?

For the cover design of Surviving to Thriving, our cover cooks created a recipe pairing two round elements with opposing flavors across the central axis of gravity on the cover: the heaviness of a wrecking ball and the lightness of a balloon. The split color palette on the title, wavering between opposites, enhances the message of the book: how to gravitate towards gratefulness, engagement and growth.
