This week Greg Hammer, MD, Stanford University Professor, Physician, Best-Selling Author, and mindfulness expert, discusses the importance of Gratitude on your journey to Health and Happiness.

The constant onslaught of traumatic events displayed in the media and on the news has generated an overarching feeling of despair that has become the new norm. In this era of social, political, and economic unrest, it’s easy to be fearful, depressed or overwhelmed as we try to navigate the hardships of our day-to-day lives. But what if one small step, like expressing gratitude, could change the stress of all of that? Well, it can, and Gratitude is available every moment of every day. Gratitude can also be one of the most powerful tools for staying healthy and centered as it takes you on the superhighway to happiness.
