We’re continuing our study on thanks and giving, and last week I commenced by letting you know how to enhance your wellbeing significantly.

• help build new relationships or boost current ones because you’re just a nicer person to be around
• help you forgive yourself and others
• reduce anger and increase empathy
• help you sleep better, experience increased energy levels
• help you appreciate what you have.
