Transcendence is not limited to experiences of the divine, posits Unitarian minister Galen Guengerich—it can also be reached through gratitude's ability to take us beyond ourselves and create connection to others and the universe. Through his personal story, poems that resonate with his spiritual message, and "gratitude goals," Guengerich explains how the way of gratitude can make us happier and healthier, and provide a new sense of belonging, not only to the universe as a whole but also to ourselves.
