Grateful Expectations

The Happiness Lab with Dr. Laurie Santos

CHAPTER

What Is the Power of Gratitude?

gratitude is the emotion that we feel when some one gives us something of value at some cost to themselves, a present or financial assistance. It's not a feeling of indebtedness in the negative sense, but a feeling of of, this person really help me, and i value that, and i want to go above and on to pay them back. While we feel it, it kind of sets our expectations for what we should value and what we should do next. And so i tell people, gratitude is really about the future. It makes us value long term goals more than immediate gratification.
