063: Four Essential Elements to Cultivate Personal Transformation & Happiness DR. GREG HAMMER

In this episode, our guest is Dr. Greg Hammer, a Stanford professor and pediatric intensive care physician. Dr. Hammer emphasizes the importance of gratitude in achieving happiness and offers practical strategies for cultivating gratitude in our lives.

We explore the concept of the brain's negativity bias and how it affects our ability to be grateful. Dr. Hammer introduces the GAIN approach, which stands for gratitude, acceptance, intention, and non-judgment, as a way to rewire our thinking and increase happiness. We discuss the impact of comparing ourselves to others, self-judgment, and resistance to truth on our emotional well-being.

Throughout the episode, we delve into the importance of acceptance, the practice of mindfulness, and the role of self-reflection in personal growth. Dr. Hammer also shares insights on embracing gratitude, acceptance, intention, and non-judgment as fundamental principles for humanity's evolution towards kindness and self-acceptance.
