Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

2 Lessons To Build Real Gratitude That Don't Suck [Even for Skeptics]


Listen Later

Burn the manifestation guide and step away from the affirmations. Here are some unusual but realistic ways to build happiness, wonder and gratitude for the world around you.


We all know we "should" build more gratitude if we want to be happier. You may have heard of gratitude journalling or even be practising it. Today we explore ideas that aren't spoken about but make a difference to your baseline enjoyment of life.


Some themes we highlight:

  • The recurring problem with goals
  • Fighting the natural focus on flaws
  • Building a polymathic curiosity
  • Raising our baseline everyday gratitude
  • Zero affirmations

  • Whether you are highly sceptical of the positive or spiritual aspects of gratitude or just fed up with the endless bad news. It can feel hard to feel grateful when things seem so overwhelmingly difficult but this episode will teach you two ways to fight our focus on flaws and see reality with greater clarity.
