The daily practice that could rewire your brain | Timm Chiusano

In this TED Talk Daily episode, host Elise Hu introduces emotional intelligence coach Timm Chiusano, who shares his personal experience of discovering the power of appreciation during a challenging time in his career. Chiusano recounts how a simple observation of a manhole cover led him to realize his "addiction to appreciation," which he defines as noticing and valuing the good in the world. He differentiates appreciation from gratitude, describing appreciation as foundational and gratitude as transactional. Chiusano explains how incorporating appreciation into daily life can lead to increased happiness, presence, and a better understanding of others, using examples such as appreciating a light bulb and finding value in interactions with difficult people. He encourages listeners to adopt a mindset of appreciation to improve their lives and relationships.
