b'In the face of the seemingly unremitting horrors of 2020, is it possible -- or wise -- to generate gratitude? My guest today argues: yes. DaRa Williams is a longtime practitioner and teacher of meditation. She is one of the guiding teachers at the Insight Meditation Society. She\\u2019s also had a clinical mental health private practice in Manhattan for many years. DaRa Williams says, only semi-facetiously, that she believes gratitude can be considered the fifth Brahma Vihara. As you know, we\\u2019ve just wrapped up our special Election Sanity series here on the podcast, where we explored the ancient Buddhist list called the Four Brahma Viharas: loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. Speaking of Election Sanity, we\\u2019re also running a special meditation challenge on the Ten Percent Happier app. Technically, it started yesterday, but it\\u2019s not too late to join. It\\u2019s only a week long, and it will help you stay engaged in this bananas election season without losing your mind. Download the Ten Percent Happier app today to get started. But back to gratitude, let\\u2019s dive in now with DaRa Williams.\\nWhere to find DaRa Williams online:\\nDharmaseed: https://dharmaseed.org/teacher/611/\\nIMS: https://www.dharma.org/teacher/dara-williams/\\nAdditional Resources:\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0Ten Percent Happier Live: https://tenpercent.com/live\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0Coronavirus Sanity Guide: https://www.tenpercent.com/coronavirussanityguide\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0Free App access for Frontline Workers: https://tenpercent.com/care\\nFull Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/dara-williams-295\\n\\nSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.'
