Quick N' Nerdy

Join Starsky and Hutch (aka Dr. Cody Bayles and Dr. Dan Phillips)as they address the Mindfulness attitude of Gratitude.  This attitude is well researched, well defined, and well understood.  Gratitude has many correlates to well-being and the mindful effort to recognize how interconnected we are to one another and to the environment around us with an appreciation for that will lead to greater life satisfaction.  One prime example is with A.J. Jacobs living out the process of gratitude in his book "Thanks a Thousand: A Gratitude Journey."  Give this episode a listen and check out the example of A.J. Jacobs, learn about how the spaghetti in your head is improved with gratitude, and get practical strategies for how to apply the attitude of gratitude to better your life.
