How A Daily Practice of Gratitude Can Make You Happier - Special Guest: AJ Jacobs

"I knew that I had to fight the negative bias and I knew that one
of the most powerful weapons against it is gratitude."


Today's guest is AJ Jacobs. AJ is an author, journalist,
lecturer, and self-proclaimed human guinea pig. He’s written four
NYT best-sellers that combine memoire, science, humor, and a dash
of self-help. He’s appeared on Oprah, The Today Show, Good
Morning America, CNN, The Doctor Oz Show, Conan, and the Colbert
Report, and he’s got numerous Ted Talks. 


Today we’re diving into AJ’s newest book Thanks a Thousand where
AJ decided to thank every single person involved in producing his
morning cup of coffee. The resulting journey took him across the
globe, transformed his life and reveals the secrets about how
gratitude can make us all happier more generous, and more
connected!
