Grateful-ology (GRATITUDE) is not totally a real word
b'A (perhaps) much-needed refresher course on last year\'s gratitude minisode. As a friend of a friend\'s hairdresser once said: "It\'s hard to be hateful with a plateful of grateful." Is it? In this pre-holidays quickie episode, Alie is grumpy as hell and decides to research the neuroscience of gratitude. Does it work? Who\'s studying it? Does she need to buy a journal? Find out how jotting down things you don\'t hate on the back of a receipt or opening a secret Twitter account may be worth more than whatever you get in your office Secret Santa exchange.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nLearn more about the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month:\\xa0www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com\\xa0has hats, shirts, pins, totes!\\n\\nFollow @Ologies on\\xa0Twitter\\xa0or\\xa0Instagram\\n\\nFollow @AlieWard on\\xa0Twitter\\xa0or\\xa0Instagram\\n\\nMore links at\\xa0www.alieward.com\\n\\nSound editing by\\xa0Steven Ray Morris\\n\\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\\n\\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies'
