Welcome to Flourishing Fridays. This past Wednesday we celebrated World Gratitude Day with the first ever TFC Gratitude Marathon, which included 12 hours of online gratitude experiences and courses. If you’d like to learn more about the 24 different experiences or to purchase the recordings, go to theflourishingcenter.com/wgd (that’s WGD for World Gratitude Day). 

In this episode, join Emiliya Zhivotovskaya, CEO and Founder of The Flourishing Center, in a review of the concept of higher order gratitude. 

In traditional positive psychology research, gratitude has been defined as the emotional experience of receiving benefit from other people’s benevolence. But positive psychology researchers have recently widened their lens, incorporating the “higher order” aspects of gratitude that originate from valuable and meaningful life experiences. Join Emiliya as she reviews a study that highlights five higher order aspects and invites you to explore five questions to deepen your experience of gratitude.
