Goetz Distinguished Service Professor of Creative Management at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

Two weeks ago, on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, I wrote about gratitude – the importance of expressing gratitude, how to cultivate a practice of showing gratitude, and about the impact our showing gratitude has on others.
