Abstract

This study examines the influence of gratitude on physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being. First, we describe what gratitude is and review the most representative psychological studies dealing with gratitude, focusing on the implications of gratitude for health. Furthermore, following the recent theory proposed by Seligman (2012) on the understanding of happiness and psychological well-being, these studies form part of the new horizon of psychological well-being where gratitude plays a part. The present study shows that an increase in the feeling of and disposition towards gratitude can favor well-being and personal health.
