Russ Harris
Just as I need someone to observe things about myself or my writing that I can’t see, mainstream society needs the perspective of its outsiders and recluses to illuminate problems and alternatives that aren’t visible from the inside.

One thing that is important about the exercise is that it is focused on the current day. If you just list three things you are grateful for in general, then every day you will have the same list. For example, one person who took me up on the challenge posted “My health, my husband, my kids” every day. By making it specific to today, you force your brain to reflect on all the positives that you have recently experienced, putting activity into the left side of your prefrontal cortex. And this is the whole point.
