Hugh Willard is a psychotherapist, the author of the new book Finding Beauty in the Gray: Stories and Verse from the Third Age and the host of the podcast Aging Well: Finding Beauty in the Gray. Hugh has facilitated numerous workshops and taught courses on several topics relevant to folks in the second half of life.Today we talk about the importance of generosity in life, as well as its inherent link to gratitude. Hugh mentions that studies are showing substantial benefits to mental and physical health from increased efforts in generosity and gratitude. While there are many instances in life where we may not feel especially grateful or where our generosity is tested, Hugh points out that by taking the time to delve into our experience of age we can often find something to feel grateful for, or the process can lead us to acting in a more generous fashion than was our first inclination. And this is what gives us the feeling of satisfaction - giving of ourselves, especially in a time when it is difficult.Please connect with Hugh:On his websites: https://hughwillard.com and https://findingbeautyinthegray.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/findingbeautyinthegray/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082899096505LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hugh-willard-81aa4869/
