While many try to find gratitude during Thanksgiving, Ingo and John talk about gratitude and other skills to improve happiness. The study of how people become happy is called “positive psychology,” and is growing in research every year. The guys also talk about the importance of mindfulness meditation, including personal experiences and why it can be so difficult to start a regular meditation practice. For many regular meditation can be chore in an already busy day, but research continues to show the benefits to mindfulness practice.We also answer a listener question – “How do I know if I am depressed or sad?” John and Ingo talk about their experiences with depression in men often looking like anger, as well as review the symptom criteria for Major Depressive Disorder.00:00Intro and Article Review07:32Mindfulness Meditation11:45Positive Psychology and Clinical Issues20:15Listener Question – Am I Depressed or Sad?24:20Depression Between Different Sexes29:04Reviewing Symptoms of Major Depressive DisorderSend questions to [email protected]The purpose of this podcast is to promote broad understanding and knowledge of various topics.
