Not just for greeting cards – Dr. Medina reviews evidence for gratitude practices researched by Martin Seligman. We’ll review with an author who intentionally practiced kindness for a year.
As we coordinate care for ourselves or others – especially during uncertain times, stress can be our greatest enemy. John Medina, PhD, affiliate Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington School of Medicine, shares key research-backed strategies for powerfully dealing with stress; subject-specific experts give us practical ways to implement these tested methods in our everyday lives.
After we watch a pre-recorded video message from Dr. Medina, our guest specialist, Donna Cameron, shares about her experiment of intentionally living kindly for a year. Her powerful experience became a book, A Year of Living Kindly: Choices That Will Change Your Life and the World Around You. She'll get very specific with gratitude practices she explored.
