The Power of Gratitude

Phil and Stephen kick off the holiday season with a special Thanksgiving-week discussion of one of this program’s most enduring topics: what we have to be thankful for.

The list is probably a lot longer than you think!

Research shows that grateful people are healthier and happier. That should be reason enough for anyone, but there’s more. Is it possible that gratitude somehow makes us better prepared for the future than its alternatives?

Phil and Stephen discuss why this might be the case while listing their some top reasons fro being grateful.
