Welcome to the Psychology Podcast, where we give you insights into the mind, brain, behavior, and creativity.

I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, and in each episode I have a conversation with a guest

who will stimulate your mind and give you a greater understanding of yourself, others, and the world we live in.

Hopefully we'll also provide a glimpse into human possibility.

Thanks for listening and on the podcast.

Jacobs is the author of Thanks a Thousand, it's all relative, drop dead healthy, and the New York Times bestsellers, the

know-it-all, the Europe of Living Bibically, and my life as an experiment.

He is a contributor to NPR and has written for the New York Times, the Washington Post, and Entertainment Weekly.

A.J lives in New York City with his wife and kids, and I'm grateful to count him as a friend.

Thanks for being on the show today,

J. Thank you, Scott. I hope you consider me a friend as well or else that's awkward.

I know I should have said that. Yes, absolutely I consider you a friend and I'm an avid

listener of your podcast so thank you for putting that out I listen on double speed

so I get twice as much Scott Barry Kaufman so don't be insulted but I do love it and sometimes I'll even listen

twice on double speed so it's as if I were listening on single speed.

I love that well I'm honored to hear that and I'm going to start actually going to start

editing the podcast in double speed but that background information that no one needs to know.

Okay so what a really interesting book,

what a really neat and clever way to talk about the latest science of gratitude

through your own exploration.

And you call it Project Gratitude.

Is that right?
