Gratitude Micro-Episode: 25% Happiness Boost + Recharge for Climate Wins

In 7 minutes, Chris shares science-backed gratitude practices to recharge, boost happiness, and sustain energy for long-term climate tech impact.In this unusual episode, I do my best to go meta, above our normal climate tech challenges and opportunities, to the science and mindset of gratitude.Does a greater appreciation for what we have mean nothing bad is happening out there?Not at all.But building climate tech solutions is not a spring. It's a marathon. Or maybe both.As such, we need all the non-work tools in our toolbelt to maintain our energy, health, and focus along the journey.In seven short minutes, I walk through five science-based benefits of gratitude and four practical ways to practice it in a few minutes each day.📈 JOIN EFI’S CLIMATE CEO PEER GROUP:Become an EFI Climate CEO Fellow — Join North America’s top private peer group community for growth-stage CEOs in climate tech and sustainability.
