Everybody is familiar with the feeling that things are not as they should be. That you are not successful enough, your relationships not satisfying enough. That you don’t have the things you crave.  In this video we want to talk about one of the strongest predictors of how happy people are, how easily they make friends and how good they are at dealing with hardship. An antidote against dissatisfaction so to speak: Gratitude.

DrWex

Great video. When you put a link in the YT description can you please also post it here?

Thank you very much!! I appreciate your understanding of the Law of attraction and the way you have beautifully expressed why Gratitude is the easiest way to Super Successful and Happy Life. Thank you very much!! Keep up the good work!! I love each of your videos.

Re: Not wanting to be a "self help" channel -- I think it's not a terrible idea to do videos like this more often, because you're speaking from a huge body of scientific literature when you do. Most channels and websites that are "self help" focused do so with very little scientific backing. If you just don't want to do it for the sake of not wanting to, that's fine, but I don't think anyone would fault you for bringing high quality science to this discussion.

Jota

Amazing video, as usual. I would love to get the Kurzgesagt gratitude journal, but I don’t like paper books. Can I buy a pdf or similar? Could be a patreon reward.

RE "This was a hard video to make. Gratitude felt vaguely risky to do as a topic. It has this aura of cheap Instagram hashtag self help stuff": This video is so much more than self help. Most self help is cheap nonsense; your video is "let me tell you about research on how your brain works and what makes people happy." It's primarily a presentation of research. Most self help is primarily garbage with very little real content.

This sounds a lot like "forget about improving anything and be grateful you're not in the very worst part of our crumbling world".

I like the fact that they don't want to be seen as a "self help book"... because they aren't. And usually people gets too carried away (In favor and against it). Besides there is already a plethora of "self help" information and many of them are also scientifically backed. I loved the video. and the subject as always.

Team Kurzgesagt, this was wonderful. Thank you. I'm grateful for your work and research, and I continue to be a proud Patreon member of Kurzgesagt. I hope all of you have a safe, restful, and fun holiday and new year. All my best.

Ezra

I second Noel Namron's sentiment. Grateful for your work. Thank you for spreading goodness and knowledge with your beautiful videos. This video made me become a patron ♥️

Spika.

Thank you. This is a great birthday gift :)

James Dominguez

You're so lovely. Thankyou for working so hard to make the world a better place.

LonMcGregor

I am grateful to you for having made this video. It's fine if you want to make this kind of thing infrequently. If anything that makes it a bit more special when you do.

I reckon a lot of people benefit from their self-help videos though. I reckon those people don't actively seek self-help literature, so when it just comes to them (when it's covered by a youtube channel they follow) it is very beneficial. In that case, the point to take away from this could be that lots of people don't realise how beneficial these self-help books can be until they experience them.

Bill Kerr

I was very disappointed that this ended in an ad for a product you made. That undermines the credibility of the rest of the video.

Kaj

If attempting to do the journal, one should aim for different things each time right? Thats the impression I get but I was just curious

Chris Lyons

Will supporters be given a chance to pre order the book since it sold out?

Roch Feuillade

This is one of my favourite Kurzgesagt 2019 video. This is why I am sponsoring you : things that help humanity in a profound way.

James Riley

Happy to join the chorus of "I'm grateful that you made this"!

They mentioned buying it was not necessary to do the task.

Kyle Smith

Awesome video, really enjoyed it as always.

Whatever you are grateful for! You can be grateful for things like your friends every day.

Alwin JK

It was a great video. I really hope you'll reconsider your decision to make only 1 self-help video per year. I think a lot of people, including myself, will appreciate a more frequent schedule. Still, you guys are doing a wonderful job. Keep it up!!

Liyuan Wang

I watched this so many times. It is healing for me. Thank you.
