I totally agree. It sounds awfully ridiculous -- appreciation of life isn't something that happens "on schedule" any more than falling in love is.

Maybe he should have just said, "take a quiet moment before starting my day, because it helps keep me relaxed/whatever" or something to that effect.

I have to disagree with you guys here. I'm definitely not a ryan carson fanboy, but I've been scheduling my 'life appreciation' time for years and my life has been better because of it. In fact, you'll see it on almost every daily schedule I create. It was very easy to go months without appreciating all the blessings before I made a deliberate effort to schedule that time. I'm already teaching this important 'trick' to my kid.

Do you also schedule time for things like "laughter"?
