7 Things to Thank Your Wife For

Several researchers from the University of California conducted a study with three groups. Group One wrote down the things that irritated them that day. Group Two wrote down all of the things they were grateful for, and Group Three just wrote down general observations. Not surprisingly, Group Two reported being more optimistic, content with life, and even more physically fit. In another study by the University of Pennsylvania, a group of fundraisers were tasked with raising funds in the way it had always been done. The second group was given an encouraging talk by the director of how grateful she was for their work. The second group made 50% more calls than the first group.
