Why Gratitude Practices Feel Fake (And What Actually Works)

If gratitude practices feel fake, there's a reason—and it's not you. After 25 years as a Master Certified Coach and 10,000 hours working with clients, I've discovered a fundamental problem with how modern gratitude interventions work. In this video, I break down: Where gratitude practices came from (the journey from philosophy to positive psychology to corporate wellness) What the research actually shows (effect size 0.19—small, but marketed as transformative) Why forced gratitude becomes toxic positivity The deeper ontological problem the wellness industry misses What actually works instead (hint: it's not more gratitude journaling) The gratitude industrial complex has turned an ancient virtue into a billion-dollar productivity technique. Corporate wellness programs push gratitude journals while refusing to address burnout, poor management, and systemic problems. Researchers found small benefits. The industry markets transformation. And we stay stuck in the gap. This isn't about being ungrateful. It's about understanding the mechanism that makes forced gratitude backfire—and learning what actually creates lasting change. 📚 RESEARCH REFERENCED: Meta-analysis: Lau et al.
