The Psych with Mike 2019 Thanksgiving Special

Published: Nov. 25, 2019, 1 p.m.

Thanksgiving isn't just about turkey and dressing. Those things are great and while family gatherings can be wonderful or a struggle (often both) there is more to the day than this. Thanksgiving is about helping each of us think about our own "attitude of gratitude". Being thankful/gracious has profound psychological and physiological benefits. We here at Psych with Mike wish all of our listeners a wonderous, healthy, and happy holiday season.    https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/psysociety/the-psychology-of-giving-thanks/     https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_gratitude_changes_you_and_your_brain      https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/giving-thanks-can-make-you-happier      https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/what-mentally-strong-people-dont-do/201504/7-scientifically-proven-benefits-gratitude?eml
