The 3 Good Podcast: Episode 20 What about appreciation?

In this episode, Sukh talks about the importance of appreciation for living more fulfilled and positive lives. He discusses in particular insights on appreciation from Martin Seligman in his book 'Flourish. One of the approaches he shares is Seligman's thinking on appreciative conversations with partners.

Sukh also discusses how to cultivate an attitude for appreciation by carrying out activities like regular reflection on #3GoodThings and carrying our gratitude visits. He also discusses his own thinking on how expressing appreciation to your partner is about showing vulnerability by sharing what's important to you, what you value about your partner and being able to express that in healthy and safe ways which cultivates love and shared appreciation.

The focus of the episode is about relationships and couples and talking about friends and loved ones.
