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. https://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

Love this series on how social conditions effect people and I love the wholesome endings, really humbling narratives and brilliantly structured videos. Thank you so much

I am one of those people who hate it. I’m incredibly grateful for everything I have, so much so that it’s crippling. I don’t deserve it. I’ve let everything and everyone down. I don’t deserve this wonderful house or my wonderful friends. I need to be better, or none of it matters. Gratitude is not an antidote so much as a indication.

Phillip, please keep posting these contents and all the contents you can create. Kurzgesagt is the best channel on YouTube :)

I imagine your 'ohai' voice like Suzuha's from Steins gate.

Thanks, Philipp :)

My relationship will never be perfect, cat girl don't exist.

I am not into those personal development topics, but I found that one interesting as long as it is backed by some science. And for that I am grateful to you.

*Thank you*

I ended up seeing this video right when I needed it most, and my life feels so much more beautiful with this gentle push and offer to be better. Thank you Philip, I'm another person whose life you've touched wonderfully!! 🐛🦋

5:02 And so, then more often u risk opening up, then higher the chance of being hurted while you are vulnerable (me_rn)

they are talking about me what really?

ormai mi sono arreso. penso troppo alla mia vita.. penso troppo a quanto sia diverso dagli altri. più ci penso più inconsciamente ci voglio pensare. mi deprime. mi sono dimenticato di dire che non ho un singolo amico vero

Crazy animation ❤️

thank you! great idea, voice, video and inspiration!

thank you! Feeling grateful for this video

Online school: Now imagine that, but magnified

apparently, 2020 was really tough since it did not deserve an emotional video XD

Today I achieved the goal of being the second-best student in my class today, but I was actually not happy at all. I was sad that I couldn't enter the first 5 in my school. After watching this video I'm finnaly happy now.

Thank you for putting every bit of your effort into each video, it really means a lot to us viewers

Gratitude with the right mindset is great! Unfortunately for me, I tend to respond to feeling grateful by feeling guilty for being depressed/anxious despite having so many great things in my life, leading to shoving feelings down and lower self-esteem. Be careful with gratitude.

The best

Plot twist: Kurzgesagt posts videos about existential crisis to make us grateful that we're alive right now

I cant wait to die.

Yet, I have to wait to die.

Love it !

Ngl I started watching their videos just to see the birds

5:30 this is gonna be me after covid

Anyone who is into this kinda stuff should def check out Jordan B Peterson!!

If you need a self help channel, check out "school of life" and "The pursuit of wonder"

0:55 you're telling me that CBT can induce positive feelings?

short answer - no expectations meant no dissatisfaction

La animación esta brutal!! Me encantó.

Thank you.

I am grateful for these incredibly beautiful animations! they leave me in awe everytime

I am graetfull for you to exists

My feelers...

This came around in my suggested again, and I am grateful that it did. It really gave me a bump in the right direction when I needed it. Thank you.

I have a warm home, a bed and food on the table veryday. Makes me feel like i shouldn't be sad of crying everynight. I am grateful but at the same timw my gratefulness makes me feel guity because im so privileged to have been raised in a loving home. WTF

So... the antidote to dissatisfaction is almost dying of cancer. Got it!

Moral of the story: you can only be happy when you are happy and only sad when you are sad.

Is materialism something bad???(3:50) I am materialist myself and playing Stellaris only as fanatic materialist. So it's kinda weird to me when it stands along with character traits like narcissism etc.

NOOOOO, I deserve to suffer

Let's be grateful for such good quality of videos made by those cute little birds.

Amazing channel as always so outstanding 😛❤️ that is almost everything The consciousness is what it takes I have been in that position and hope this video really can’t make people awake and starting seeing

I just wrote an essay about how you need to help others to be happy and I was really worried that I was gonna do bad, but then a couple hours after I turned it in, this video got recommended to me. I got a 100 on the essay.

I’m going to be extremely grateful when we can stop wearing masks and just live a normal life again.

I feel really grateful to have access to such quality videos for free, thank you so much❤

why do some people even dislike??

Thank you so much Philipp. You and your team have improved and enriched the life of millions of people. Your work is beautiful, it really is.

Thanks

Another master piece by in a nutshell. Actually all of their videos are

I think your idea look like the stoicimus of Zeno it think about the death and u have gratitude with everything

This video basically explains that your whole life and experience of it all depends on your mindset!

I'll start being more grateful when the world stops being run by corrupt oligarchs Most people are dissatisfied because they're getting fucked over and they know it.

This channel is the antidote

Super fantastic work!

merci

This need to be thought in school. Thank you.

what a beautiful feeling that to have a good channel kind of like you guys :) From Azerbaijan with love! keep going :)

No, there definitely needs to be more videos like this one. Especially after 2020.. boy this series aged very well.

wow! In my religion we have to pray five times a day and show our gratefulness to the lord, Now I'm understanding it better

I am grateful for having listened to this channel.

Kurzgesagt literally told us the truth and beyond

This was an important video. Kurgesagt, you really care about people.

I watched this video before being diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I'm watching this again now. I'm starting CBT with my therapist soon, and I think I'm going to try gratitude journaling. This channel is truly and inspiration. Thank you Kurzgesagt team, for producing videos that are still inspiring and helpful more than a year later, and will likely be helpful many years in the future.

I can’t give two thumbs up so here is the second one in the comments 👍

(:

I meditate

i so agree with this video, I've started practising gratitude since last year or before that and I can tell, I have changed in a good way. Last year was horrible everyone says but I tried to find the positive things on that, I had a road accident last year in October and fractured my right arm and hip but all I thought while I was laying on the road was, I'm so grateful that I'm alive, yeah the recovery period was super tough but I kept reminding myself, it was a blessing that I was alive. I have chronic back pain and one night I couldn't sleep because of it and then I practised gratitude, I told myself how grateful I was to have a back with no serious injuries, I sent many positive vibrations to my back and it stopped aching, yeah I was surprised too , since then I've been believing in gratitude.

i feel gratitude towards the fact Kurzgesagt exist, even with some problem from the past.

Good video. The best way to develop an Attitude of Gratitude is to thank G-d every day for all the blessings that He has given you. "Thank you G-d for creating me, thank you for eyes that work, for my family, for hands and feet that function, thank you G-d!" Next, don't forget to thank others for the favours they do for you.

Loved this!

I play gacha games

I’ve been feeling this way for a couple years now and just now finding this video at 5am 😭

I have been using a gratitude journal for over a year now, and I have recently purchased Kurzgesagts journal. Their journal is great and keeps me motivated to journal. Having a gratitude journal has changed my life, things do not bother me as much anymore.

i was wondering why i changed for the better this pandemic, i think it was because of the journals i started making. ill continue on to do journals to maintain gratitude thanks for the enlightenment!!!

Actually insane how I am grateful for watching this video. Being grateful for watching a video about being grateful. Can't be better than that. It sure feels weird saying this but it also feels right. So, I'm grateful for the YouTube Algorithm for showing this channel to me. I'm grateful for being able to watch these videos, which I'm grateful you guys makes these too.

Gratidão pelo vídeo

Thank you

I think this video is deeply problematic and I'm unsubbing because of it. I know that 1 person unsubbing doesn't effect your channel so I don't expect you to take this criticism seriously. This video reeks of privilege. It paves over the idea that dissatisfaction can be a call to action. Systemic inequality is not a force of nature- it's human greed. I'm dissatisfied with life because I'm actively being oppressed by the powerful and wealthy. I also happen to be very grateful for what I have and work hard to keep it. There is nothing fun about being forced to play a rigged game.

I’m grateful i’m not a selfish prick like you that criticizes a video that is only meant to help people. Of course they aren’t talking about dissatisfaction with inequality, they’re just trying to show that there is a better view in life for those who believe they have lost their purpose on this planet.

"Traps that modern life has set for you" - oh, you mean the traps that PEOPLE have set for me? Predatory marketing and systemic inequality aren't forces of nature.

Kurzegesagt is a wonderful channel but it focuses a lot about Western society (that being mainly European or continental Americas) while Ancient human stuff applies in other societies still. Things that mostly don't apply are newer society things like the reliance on cell phones, etc.... I'm pretty sure I did a poor job explaining because I am horrible at explaining things but I hope it gets the point across.

now i´m grateful for having become grateful over the past years/ being naturally grateful to some degree. i had already noticed/ still notice (with lots of gratitude, great fascination and joy, of course) how that´s changed my life and person, even, for the better. now i know why. so inspiring, thank you! :)

Gratitude towards Kurzgesagt!

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :(
