If you thought there was something you could do to make your day happier, more productive, more fulfilling, would you do it? Regularly and with devotion? The TIA Method offers you just that: the capacity to see more of the goodness all around us. It’s not a trick or a wish or a vague hope—it’s a dedicated practice for seeing and experiencing the extraordinary beauty of the world. The TIA Method (thank-intend-ask) offers a practice for inviting happiness, groundedness, and personal accomplishment into your life. The great wisdom traditions have long advocated the value of gratitude as both a spiritual and an ethical practice. Modern sciences now affirm the benefits of cultivating gratitude and positive thinking as a way to reframe our attitude about and response to experience. What we are delivering here is old news—ancient traditions wrapped up in contemporary scientific insight. Gratitude practice is one leg of the three-pronged TIA Method. After gratitude, the TIA Method advocates clarity of intentions and surrendering problems to higher intelligence. Together, these three parts of the TIA Method offer skillful means for cultivating the life we want to live—one of joy, grace, purpose, and equanimity. Try it for thirty days and see if the old news of ancient traditions is still good news for modern seekers.
