An Antidote to Dissatisfaction

Ohai! For a change a few personal words. My name is Philipp and I started this channel almost seven years ago – you don’t know my voice but you have heard my words because I write most of our scripts. Oh boy. This was a hard video to make. Gratitude felt vaguely risky to do as a topic. It has this aura of cheap Instagram hashtag self help stuff. Some of you will hate this video deeply, and the thought of that made me pretty anxious writing it. Gratitude was not supposed to be a video topic originally. Just like the Nihilism and Loneliness videos, the script was based on personal struggles and part of the process of dealing with them. And so it felt right to make gratitude a video too. But Kurzgesagt is not a self help channel, so we'll keep this sort of content at roughly one or two per year. We hope they are helpful to some of you. If you care for my take on how to practice Gratitude, we made a Kurzgesagt Gratitude journal to combine the science with practical tips. shop.kurzgesagt.org/ Edit: PRE-ORDER is available again. Please note: You don’t need to buy this or anything else to practice gratitude – you only need a pen, a piece of paper and 5 minutes. Thank you for watching our videos and reading this comment. Being able to do Kurzgesagt means a lot. To me and the whole team. – Philipp

"You don't need to buy it, obviously, but we made it pretty." I like that.

Kurzgesagt: - how to destroy the whole planet - how to explore the galaxy - how to improve your life You guys are the mvp of channels.

8:58 is the best sentence any creator has said about their own merch. We made a thing. We made it worth the effort. We made it pretty but you can do without it. Just use regular pen and paper. I love it. Thank you Kurzgesagt team for being such an impactful part of my life.

The existence of this channel is a HUGE REASON to be grateful. The animation is soo smooth and comforting! It's beautiful!.

"I'm grateful for Kurzgesagt" would be the first thing I write

"In the end, how you experience life is a representation of what you believe about it." This is a major concept of why one should strive towards and keep a positive mindset and that is where gratitude kicks in in maintaining that too.

A couple of months ago, I found myself feeling dissatisfied, bored, and a bit lonely. So I started to make a conscious effort to express gratitude for everything. Since I started doing that, I found myself noticing more and more things to be grateful for. Gratitude is an amazing thing and no one should ever doubt its power and effect on both yourself and others. I am so grateful for this channel and everything they do to help spread knowledge and information that I find so intriguing and interesting.

"Being a human is hard, but it doesn't need to be as hard" Thanks, I really needed that.

Thanks for the video. I grew up very poor, but every night my mother made us say our "gratefuls" during dinner. You can always find something, even if it is "I'm grateful I didn't get hit by a bus today."

YouTube Rewind 2019: just barely mentions kurzgesagt at the end Kurzgesagt: what is dissatisfaction

Just came here from the habits video, and I just want to say I'm grateful for the change you are making in the world, and for myself. Your channel is consistently inspiring, and I love it!

honestly it just occurred to me that I stopped practicing written gratitude about a year ago and then slowly stopped practicing grattitude in its entirety to the point where ive been downgrading positive achievements with everything that I have not achieved. This was like a reminder to do that again and is probably a crucial point as to why im bringing myself down so much atm. Thanks for the reminder and a great time to everyone!

Things I'm grateful for: 1. A random stranger on YouTube teaching me how to feel grateful. Thank you, Kurzgesagt.
