#7 - Gratitude, a path to joy!

In this short episode, Steve Smith (author of the Live From Rest app) shares some thoughts on the subject of gratitude and how this can be a path to real joy. As believers, we are encouraged to give thanks in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5) and to follow this encouragement is likely to result in good mental well being. Steve contsiders evidence from various studies and writings, suggesting that gratitude may be an antidote to anxiety and depression. The 'practice of gratitude' is something that he hopes to start prescribing in his own clinical practice as a physician, specialising in the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction.
