Original creator: Hidden Brain; guest David DeSteno. Theme: Kindness.
This episode examines gratitude and its possible relationship with cooperation and self-control. It complements our kindness and community material without reducing genuine relationships to a productivity technique.
Why we recommend this episode
Think about gratitude as something you can express freely, not an obligation to stay positive when life is difficult. A sincere acknowledgement does not require public posting.
Is there someone whose help you could acknowledge privately with a specific and respectful message?
