    #206: A 7-Minute Thanksgiving Micro-Episode — Tim Ferriss Wisdom. How to Recharge for Climate Wins. Science of Gratitude. 25% Boost in Happiness. Toxic Positivity.

    In this unusual episode, I do my best to go meta, above our normal climate tech challenges and opportunities, to the science and mindset of gratitude. Does a greater appreciation for what we have mean nothing bad is happening out there? Not at all. But building climate tech solutions is not a spring. It's a marathon. Or maybe both. As such, we need all the non-work tools in our toolbelt to maintain our energy, health, and focus along the journey. In seven short minutes, I walk through five science-based benefits of gratitude and four practical ways to practice it in a few minutes each day. 📈 JOIN EFI’S CLIMATE CEO PEER GROUP: Become an EFI Climate CEO Fellow — Join North America’s top private peer group community for growth-stage CEOs in climate tech and sustainability.
