The science of gratitude

Feeling grateful doesn't just boost mood and psychological well-being, it improves overall health and leads to a better quality of life, according to Robert Emmons, PhD, the leading scientific expert on gratitude and a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis.

This week, my friend Branimir Kvartuc and I discuss the science of gratitude and what thankfulness looks like in our own lives.

Here are a few links to Dr. Emmons' work, if you'd like to learn more:
