Today is a milestone episode that is being celebrated in a very special way. We have been discussing gratitude extensively on the podcast for one year and to close up our season of \\u201cAttitude of Gratitude\\u201d we are hearing from THE authority on gratitude, Dr. Robert Emmons.

For over 20 years Dr. Emmons has researched, taught, and wrote about the topic of gratitude concluding simply that, \\u201cGratitude Works\\u201d. In our conversation he shares with us how an assignment to study gratitude changed the course of his own life and gave him the opportunity to understand one of the most powerful tools that we have available to us right now.

He shares that, \\u201cGratitude is the truest approach to life\\u201d and we can CHOOSE to walk in gratitude no matter what our circumstances. He believes that \\u201cGratitude energizes and shapes the future\\u201d and actually \\u201cfrees\\u201d us in our day-to-day life. We also discuss the routine of gratitude and how we can develop the habit while our lives are already so busy.\\xa0
