In the book
Gratitude is the genuine antidote to despair, the thing that holds the larger, transcendent view steady right alongside our raw emotional life. It is one of the rare emotions you can actually practice, and practicing it changes the body — it raises the levels of dopamine and serotonin and strengthens the very neural paths that carry our feeling. To be grateful does not require pretending that everything in your life is good; it only means that whatever good there is, you have actually noticed it. — The Air Traffic Controller (God)
