Deborah Norville, host of TV's "Inside Edition," is also a self-help author. She will be in Seattle next week to sign copies of her book, "Thank You Power: Making the Science of Gratitude Work for You."

Here's an excerpt: "The other day my son was buried in the sports section at breakfast as I poured the milk on his cereal. He mumbled, 'Thanks,' and I am quite sure he had no idea he was saying it. Gracias, merci, tack, obrigado, danke, asante -- you probably can say thank you in a zillion languages that you don't speak. But have you tried feeling it, embracing it?"
