His story is a powerful reminder that gratitude isn’t reserved for easy times. It’s often forged in life’s most difficult moments.   Join us for a conversation about resilience, purpose, human connection and the simple acts of kindness that can change a life.   ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/living-healthy-together-7510477/episodes/can-gratitude-help-you-live-longer/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/living-healthy-together-7510477/can-gratitude-help-you-live-longer.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
