Sinopse

Tis the season to be thankful, grateful, and appreciative. But how does one get to a place of gratitude if you're feeling miserable -- physically, emotionally, or both? Toni Bernhard, author of How to Be Sick (Second Edition): A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers, talks about gratitude as it relates to the Four Sublimes States of Buddhism.  A brief introduction to Robert A. Emmons', Ph.D. research on gratitude is presented on the physical, psychological, and social benefits to a gratitude practice. Emmons has written a number of books but here is a quick read for those anxious to jump into a gratitude practice, The Little Book of Gratitude: Create a life of happiness and wellbeing by giving thanks. Join Leslie with her 30-day gratitude challenge of daily journaling in the Glass Half Full Facebook group. Listen to Toni Bernhard in her earlier podcast episode and her articles on Psychology Today's website.
