Gratitude: what’s the deal? Does it really make us happier? Or is being appreciative a bunch of hokey flim-flam? Author Neil Pasricha started a blog of 1000 Awesome Things in 2008 and it led him down rabbit holes looking into the science of gratitude and how to better survive tough times. Learn about your new morning ritual, how much of happiness is genetically determined, why journaling is a good idea, simple appreciation, singing while making dinner, and how your brain means well -- but can make you miserable on purpose. Also: Why you should not only touch grass, but sniff a tree while you’re at it.
