The Value of Gratitude

A study showed the vital role gratitude plays in our physical and mental well-being. Dr. Robert Emmons and Dr. Michael McCollough focus on gratitude as an emotion.

Further, Emmons and McCollough showed, is "that gratitude can be taught and learned, practiced and applied. Gratitude implies that we recognize the help we get from others. No matter how much we do for ourselves, we can remain aware and acknowledge whenever someone else has helped us."



Dr. Beth Erickson can explain recent research on gratitude to the average person, and discuss how the process of gratitude can benefit individuals in terms of healthy adjustment, and overall mental and physical well-being.



As Thanksgiving Day draws near, many persons prefer to count their blessings rather than lament the present day economic woes. They realize that doing so, can actually have significant benefits. And it is possible to be happy despite a negative climate.



Dr. Beth Erickson can also clarify for your listeners/readers how to:



*Shift thinking to cultivate a more positive attitude

*Understand the benefits of optimism for everyday life
