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.

Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell
Aasta tagasi
Ohai! For a change a few personal words. My name is Philipp and I started this channel almost seven years ago - you don’t know my voice but you have heard my words because I write most of our scripts. Oh boy. 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. Some of you will hate this video deeply, and the thought of that made me pretty anxious writing it. Gratitude was not supposed to be a video topic originally. Just like the Nihilism and Loneliness videos, the script was based on personal struggles and part of the process of dealing with them. And so it felt right to make gratitude a video too. But Kurzgesagt is not a self help channel, so we'll keep this sort of content at roughly one or two per year. We hope they are helpful to some of you. If you care for my take on how to practice Gratitude, we made a Kurzgesagt Gratitude journal to combine the science with practical tips. shop.kurzgesagt.org/ Edit: PRE-ORDER is available again. Please note: You don’t need to buy this or anything else to practice gratitude - you only need a pen, a piece of paper and 5 minutes. Thank you for watching our videos and reading this comment. Being able to do Kurzgesagt means a lot. To me and the whole team. - Philipp

I am one of those people who hate it. I’m incredibly grateful for everything I have, so much so that it’s crippling. I don’t deserve it. I’ve let everything and everyone down. I don’t deserve this wonderful house or my wonderful friends. I need to be better, or none of it matters. Gratitude is not an antidote so much as a indication.

Gratitude with the right mindset is great! Unfortunately for me, I tend to respond to feeling grateful by feeling guilty for being depressed/anxious despite having so many great things in my life, leading to shoving feelings down and lower self-esteem. Be careful with gratitude.

This channel is truly and inspiration. Thank you Kurzgesagt team, for producing videos that are still inspiring and helpful more than a year later, and will likely be helpful many years in the future.

i so agree with this video, I've started practising gratitude since last year or before that and I can tell, I have changed in a good way. Last year was horrible everyone says but I tried to find the positive things on that, I had a road accident last year in October and fractured my right arm and hip but all I thought while I was laying on the road was, I'm so grateful that I'm alive, yeah the recovery period was super tough but I kept reminding myself, it was a blessing that I was alive. I have chronic back pain and one night I couldn't sleep because of it and then I practised gratitude, I told myself how grateful I was to have a back with no serious injuries, I sent many positive vibrations to my back and it stopped aching, yeah I was surprised too , since then I've been believing in gratitude.

Good video. The best way to develop an Attitude of Gratitude is to thank G-d every day for all the blessings that He has given you. "Thank you G-d for creating me, thank you for eyes that work, for my family, for hands and feet that function, thank you G-d!" Next, don't forget to thank others for the favours they do for you.

I think this video is deeply problematic and I'm unsubbing because of it. I know that 1 person unsubbing doesn't effect your channel so I don't expect you to take this criticism seriously. This video reeks of privilege. It paves over the idea that dissatisfaction can be a call to action. Systemic inequality is not a force of nature- it's human greed. I'm dissatisfied with life because I'm actively being oppressed by the powerful and wealthy. I also happen to be very grateful for what I have and work hard to keep it. There is nothing fun about being forced to play a rigged game.

I’m grateful i’m not a selfish prick like you that criticizes a video that is only meant to help people. Of course they aren’t talking about dissatisfaction with inequality, they’re just trying to show that there is a better view in life for those who believe they have lost their purpose on this planet.

Kurzegesagt is a wonderful channel but it focuses a lot about Western society (that being mainly European or continental Americas) while Ancient human stuff applies in other societies still. Things that mostly don't apply are newer society things like the reliance on cell phones, etc.... I'm pretty sure I did a poor job explaining because I am horrible at explaining things but I hope it gets the point across.
