The Perks and Science of Not Being a Miserable Bastard 🦃
Thanksgiving episode incoming — and no, it’s not one of those “write three things you’re grateful for and manifest your dream life” situations.
We talked about what we’re actually grateful for this year, why gratitude feels weird or fake at first, and how there’s just enough science behind it to make it worth trying without feeling like you’re lying to yourself.
(Think: “your brain chills out a bit when you focus on good shit,” not a neuroscience dissertation.)
This one’s more about the real stuff — the people, habits, moments, and even the tough lessons that made life a little less chaotic.
And if you’re in a season where gratitude feels like a reach? We get that too.
Give it a listen while you’re cooking, traveling, or hiding from your family for 45 minutes.
Maybe it helps you feel a little less like a miserable bastard… at least for today.
Full episode’s up. Enjoy.
