This is a talk on the neuroscience of gratitude and its practical application as a practice. Gratitude is one of the qualities of mind that helps us balance the brain's negativity bias. Gratitude as a rewirement helps us filter our experiences and offers us a more balanced perspective. The ability to reframe events with gratitude can be trained.

Thank you for an insightful discussion and life examples etc. Love the genuine quality of your reasoning. GRateful for this offering.

Remarkable. Instructive. Inspirational. Thank you. 🙏💞

What a wonderful reminder of what all we can be grateful for. I also appreciate the science of gratitude being weaved into this talk. When I learned of our brains’ natural negativity bias, it really helped me to become more mindful of my negative thoughts so I could make the choice to think about my blessings. It helps to be reminded of this fact of how our brains function.

Thank you 🙏
Loved the narrative element in this talk of how seeds of gratitude have been tended into a garden of plenty, even in the hillsides of suffering. All we take for granted is a gift.

Really appreciate the connection you make between gratitude and empathy... especially in these times when some devalue and debase empathy....and the scientific/physiological benefits blow me away. Thank you!
