Episode notes
Childhood Lesson That Sparked A Life’s Work
- John Demartini recalls his mother telling him to 'count your blessings' as a child.
- That early lesson inspired his book Counterblessing and his lifelong focus on gratitude.
Two Distinct Forms Of Gratitude
- Demartini differentiates two gratitudes: superficial (amygdala-driven) and deep (forebrain-driven).
- Superficial gratitude reacts to support, while deep gratitude sees the hidden order in opposites.
The Brain Basis Of Deep Gratitude
- Deep gratitude activates the medial prefrontal cortex, the brain's executive center.
- This allows systems thinking: you think before you react and can embrace support and challenge together.
