David Steindl-Rast & Louie Schwartzberg 
A Good Day [EPUB ebook] 
A Gift of Gratitude

This moving gift book truly stirs gratitude for the blessing of life and the everyday wonder and beauty of nature. It was inspired by the short film
Gratitude, a viral video sensation by acclaimed filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg recently featured on Oprahs
Super Soul Sunday. The book and film pair one of todays most uplifting poems—the Internet phenomenon “A Good Day, ” written by revered spiritual leader Brother David Steindl-Rast—with stunning images by Schwartzberg. Perfect for graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays—or just as a gift for someone you love—this inspirational package includes not just the book but a DVD with two short films by Schwartzberg (including
Gratitude) and Brother Davids own
A Good Day video. The last page has a link to the “A Good Day” audio track, which you can use to create your own video or slide show on what you are grateful for.
