Summary

Imagine what would happen if we could increase the world’s level of gratitude by 1%? This is the mission of the Mr. Thank You project started by John Israel. John committed to writing 5 thank you cards every single day for a year, and he joins the podcast to share how that choice has impacted him and the world.

As John shares, “Our objective is to help people make gratitude a habit, not just by writing about it in a journal, or ‘thinking happy thoughts’, but by living gratitude as an expression in your life.” Through this week’s podcast, John shows the impact that gratitude can have on you, the people that surround you, and even how it can impact your business. His story shows how committing to a keystone habit that aligns with your core values can impact and change the world.
