"When you say “thank you”, do you really mean it or is it just politeness to which you give little attention? Neuroscientists have found that if you really feel it when you say it, you’ll be happier and healthier. The regular practice of expressing gratitude is not a New Age fad; it’s a facet of the human condition that reaps true benefits to those who mean it. "

Great article. Thank you for sharing.

It ties in with what Dr. Caroline Leaf teaches, any and all of her teaching is great.

Perhaps it can be self fulfilling.
Kinda like how His blessing will overtake us when we walk out His plan for us.

I think it is important to show gratitude in truth. It seems against God’s plan to say Thank You out of habit. I believe He wants us to see each other. Also to see His gift He has given through another. Our heart feels better when we are grateful and other people appreciate us appreciating them. Their heart then feels better.❤️

Looks to me like this is another one of those "it isn't either or, it is that and more, in Jesus name" situations
Men tend to view the big picture down, women picture form the small detail up, we complement each other , Dr. Leaf has teaching on that wonderful way we are created.
best wishes

some people need scientific evidence to even do anything.

All we need to do is say thank you to God and He does the rest. We are to come to Him with thanksgiving and praise because of what He has already done for us though Jesus.
