About this course

Build a real gratitude practice on the same protocols tested in peer-reviewed psychology, not on motivational slogans. You will learn the mechanisms behind gratitude, the affective and the moral, run named interventions such as Emmons and McCullough's gratitude journaling, Seligman's Three Good Things, the gratitude letter and visit, and mental subtraction, and measure your own baseline and change using validated instruments like the GQ-6 and a short wellbeing scale. Every exercise comes with frequency, duration, and the trade-offs the research found, so you can design a habit that fits your life and tell whether it is actually shifting how you feel.
