The ability to notice, appreciate an savor the elements of life is an essential determinant of well-being. Research has shown that those of us who are grateful are happier, more hopeful and more helpful to others. We report higher levels of well-being. But, we are not born being grateful. It is something that we learn and develop throughout our lives.
In The Power of Gratitude you will be introduced to gratitude and the research behind it: what it is, the benefits, and how to cultivate it. We will also explore gratitude at work.

- Identify the psychological, social, and physical health benefits of gratitude.
- Describe research-tested methods for boosting gratitude in everyday life.
- Experience and assess at least two gratitude practices.
- Explore how to incorporate gratitude strategies into your practice and at work.
