She describes a unique gratitude practice called Naikan and its impact on personal growth and awareness. Dr. Ott discusses her personal experiences with Naikan and the transformative impact it can have on one's perspective and sense of gratitude.  She wraps up the episode outlining the foundational principles of Joy Point Solutions. She discusses how these principles are crucial for personal and professional development, particularly for physicians in her new program, ROAR. Join Dr. Ott for a deep dive into cultivating joy, integrity, and resilience in everyday life. Key Episode Takeaways: What Naikan, the gratitude practice, is and the three primary questions for it.
