Why We Are Practicing Gratitude All Wrong | Keka DasGupta | TEDxWindsor

Why do we, on one hand, wait until someone leaves the room to praise them; then on the other hand, privately journal all of the things for which we’re grateful? How many of us have been positively impacted by someone, yet we never told them? In this heartfelt talk, Keka shares her journey of loss and love, and how she stumbled upon an unexpected side effect of gifting gratitude: one which combats today’s self-worth crisis, and our bullying and loneliness epidemics. Her story may forever change how you practice gratitude. Keka is dedicated to moving people from feeling helpless to helpful through the powerful (and completely free) act of sharing gratitude. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
