Thanks a Thousand: A Gratitude Journey

Thanks a Thousand: A Gratitude Journey by A. J. Jacobs

The author decided that he would thank everyone associated with his cup of coffee. This starts with the coffee shop and extends to the manufacturers of the cups and the growers of the coffee beans. It then extends to everyone down the supply chain, from the truckers to the pallet manufacturers and even the steel factory. Giving thanks helps all to feel better, with a "grateful for" even stronger than a mere "thanks". The author even explores some conundrums. How does he thank the oil company for providing fuel while criticizing for contributing to global warming?
