Janice has written fifteen books that have been published widely, and she loves looking at the international editions of her books and wondering what they actually say.

The Gratitude Diaries was a New York Times bestseller and Janice has traveled all over the country giving talks about gratitude and making a happier life.  Her new book What Your Body Knows About Happiness gives a new twist to the happiness field by uncovering the power of mind-body connections to influence how we feel every day.

Janice began writing about gratitude early (though Cicero did it first) and a British newspaper called her “America’s gratitude guru.” She has given advise about happiness and gratitude in magazines from Time to the Wall Street Journal and talked about it on Today and CBS This Morning. She hosted the daily podcast The Gratitude Diaries for iHeartMedia.

Her wide-ranging career has combined writing and television. As the Editor-in-Chief of Parade, then the most widely read publication in America, Janice attracted some of America’s best writers and biggest-name celebrities and boosted readership to an incredible 74 million people each Sunday. Her cover stories with President Barack Obama got international attention, as did her personal interviews with stars including Barbra Streisand, Clint Eastwood, Matt Damon, and Daniel Craig.

Janice created and produced more than 30 television shows that aired primetime on major networks. She began her career as an on-air sports reporter for CBS Radio and went on to be a producer at ABC-TV’s Good Morning America, where she won awards for investigative reporting.

In addition to her bestselling non-fiction, Janice’s popular novels have been translated and published in more than a dozen countries.

Janice has appeared frequently on television shows including Today, Good Morning America, Entertainment Tonight and CBS This Morning, and is a popular speaker around the country. She has given dozen of keynote addresses at conferences, conventions, corporate events and fundraisers, and she inspires audiences with her witty and energetic presentations. She graduated magna cum laude from Yale University and won Yale’s Murray Fellowship for writing. She lives in New York City and Kent, Connecticut with her husband and has two wonderful sons who graduated Yale.
