Gratitude

Welcome to "Digital Tools, Real Life," the official podcast of WarnerBoothe. In this episode: You’re reading words on a screen. How? Where did the screen come from?—the glass, the metal, the boards, the wires? Who thought of how to assemble them? Who assembled them? Who wrote the words, took the pictures, created the graphics? Who figured out how to get them to your eyes? To your mind? Who taught you to read? To search? To type? Questions like these help us notice our dependence on the genius, labor, and love of others, and not just because of our “stuff.” We need each other. Relationships matter, and relationships that are infused with gratitude make life better, both online and off. In this episode we talk with Martha Knudson, an assistant instructor in the Positive Psychology program at University of Pennsylvania, about exercising the gratitude muscle, which helps us change the negative beliefs that can inform our thinking. We learn about savoring the good to bring about greater good, and how even when life is hard we can still be grateful. Because gratitude changes every aspect of our lives. Where you are on the gratitude journey isn’t as important as being on the journey. Listen in to learn not only why, but how.
