Cultivating a practice of gratitude goes a long way to creating a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life. This episode Dr Bec outlines some of the science of gratitude, the psychological, physical and psychosocial benefits of being thankful and appreciative of all that is good and present in our life. She discusses how gratitude, together with kindness forms a social glue, to bring us together in times of adversity and hardship. It may even act as an antidote to antisocial and selfish acts.
