Hey there, it's Jonathan, welcoming you to this week's good Life Update.
If you are listening in real time and in the United States, which a solid chunk of our listeners are, although we have a pretty international audience, we're coming off of the week known as thanksgiving, and there are variations of this across different countries and places in the world.
It's basically about reflecting, hitting pause, reflecting and thinking about what you're grateful for.
And I thought this would also be a good week to tap back into a little bit more granularly how we explore gratitude.
And I'm going to share something actually from my last book and in our science update this week, some pretty interesting information on research that shows how specific nuts affect your brain waves.
Literally eating different kinds of nuts actually leads to an increase in different brainwave states in your brain, which are associated with different moods and capabilities and things like that.
So it's gonna be fun to dive into those two topics with you.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
There's a whole lot of talk on.
This thing called gratitude these days, and.
Coming out of the beginnings of the holiday season for many and heading into.
What will be a much more involved holiday season, where we have a lot of reflection going on and a lot.
Of the anticipation of being around, socializing with colleagues, friends and family that lands with people in very different ways.
The idea of gratitude and being thankful, that's kind of floating around.
And I actually have a short and.
Sweet chapter on the topic of gratitude in my last book, which is entitled.
How to live a good life.
Soulful stories, surprising science and practical wisdom.
It's only a couple of pages, and I thought, you know what?
Why don't I actually do a little.
