## Resource

Gratitude: The Disciplined Practice of Living Life as a Gift ...this episode is a deep dive into what is gratitude and moves beyond positivity, manners, and shallow self-help to examine gratitude as a trained way of seeing reality, receiving life as gift, recognizing dependence, repairing human bonds, and staying open-hearted in a hardened world. Drawing from Robert Emmons, Michael McCullough, Martin Seligman, Barbara Fredrickson, and Henri Nouwen, it explores how gratitude changes attention, relationships, resilience, suffering, and the soul.
