How Can Five Daily Gratitudes Increase Your Happiness?
As UC Davis psychologist Robert Emmons has demonstrated in his research, "The evidence that cultivating gratefulness is good for you is overwhelming... Specifically, we have shown that gratitude is positively related to such critical outcomes as life satisfaction, vitality, happiness, self-esteem, optimism, hope, empathy, and willingness to provide emotional and tangible support for other people, whereas being ungrateful is related to anxiety, depression, envy, materialism, and loneliness" (learn more here).
