Thank you so much for having me, Chris. Neagiver.com's websites, where do you want people to get to know you better there on the interwebs in the sky?

I'm on LinkedIn as Joyce Adwitia, Ph.D. And then on YouTube, Crafters Global Communications. And then my website is craftersglobal communications.com. And then we have a gratitude-inspired online shop, what is called Joyce Appreciation Corner.com where you can get products for family and friends and the organizations can get gratitude-inspired gifts for their employees and their business associates.

Thank you. Also on Facebook, actually the same name, Joyce Adwitia. Yeah, you've got a lot going on. So give us a 30,000 overview. What's inside this book? What inspired this book is actually I've been a very grateful person all my life, but I never suspected that it's anything.

All that I knew, that people who had known me for a long time were always asking of the secret for me for keeping forever young. They call me evergreen. Is it any cream you are using or not? And I said, no, I never have anything. I always said that I don't have any secret. But in 2013, one as a colleague, professor. I had a strong edge to write a trans-squivine book, primarily to thank God for all the

great things he has done in my life. And then the people that is used all over the world. If I have to tell you my story, it's a long thing. Started as a pharmacist in Ghana. He had all expenses paid scholarship to do my master's and specialization in the UK. He went back to Ghana to start clinical pharmacy and then another chance to come to the US to have my PhD, all expenses paid and all that. So looking back, by reflection on my life, I could see that, yes, really, I have to thank God. As a Christian too, I know that not every effort is your own. You have a greater power, opening doors and all that, even though you are also putting in your effort. So, of course, because of my background as a college professor, you can't just get up and be writing.

I wanted to get into the literature to find out what other people have written on gratitude. And that is where I had this aha moment. That's a scientist like Dr. Robert Immos from University of California, Davis, and his colleagues from all over the world, in the positive psychology field, they've written a lot of, they've done a lot of research all over the world that links, gratitude to live in with a whole lot of positive things,

improved emotional well-being, mental physical well-being, longevity, resilience, excellence. Then I said, aha, this is my secret for keeping forever young, even though I never knew it. So it gave me an added impetus, added reason for me to write a Thanksgiving book or gratitude book to show the world that gratitude living has a transformative power. So to share that benefit to the world.

So that's why I wrote this book. It's a very inspiring book to take and put out. I learned the power of gratitude. I don't really know when, but one of the things I do is every Sunday. I have what's called Gratefulness for Gratitude Day. That's what I call it. That's good. And it's my day to kind of ponder and assess my life and be thankful.

And there's a little bit of self-care there where I usually take myself out to a quiet dinner. It's only me. No one's loud. No girls, no dates. Nothing is loud. It's just me. And I go to dinner. I usually go someplace peaceful.

Sometimes I go out to the lake and sit on a beautiful patio at a restaurant out there. that overlooks the lake and I watched the sunset, did that Leslie last weekend. And it kind of helps refill my bucket. And gratitude is so important because I think if you're grateful for what you have and you give thanks, it sends kind of this, you could call it a lot of different things, but it sends force to this thing that says he appreciates what he has, we should give him more. And sometimes you look at life and you look at maybe the troubles you're having. I used to do this thing when I lived in California, I would drive down to the beach.

And sometimes I go down there when I was just getting my butt kicked all week, right? And something in my life was just eating at me, kicking my ass, and I would go down there to sit by the ocean and stuff. And I would look at that huge ocean. And I would think of how many people sound on that beach with their little stupid problems like me. And I'm like, compared to this whole seeing the sunset and the beauty and this huge, humongous ocean and the sun and probably the eons of time that has risen and sunk behind this thing and it's going to be here a long time after i'm gone i just put my problems in perspective that's right i would go down there feeling like the world was taking me on against me and then i would

just kind of i'd get done and be like there's so much beauty here this isn't my problems are nothing it would just minimize it would help put things in perspective as for saying and i think that's what one of the activities that gratefulness does. What do you think? And it's true. And not only that scientifically, they've proved that the more grateful you are, the more things that you receive and experiences that you receive to be grateful for. It is bad by science.

Because when you express gratitude or when you live gratefully, what we call neurotransmitters, chemicals in the brain are released. Three major ones are dopamine. dopamine is a reward the body's reward system so the more grateful you are the more dopamine is released and it rewards

it brings more things to be grateful for it opens your eyes to see the positive side of life so that is the rewards so it's a psychical thing the more grateful you are the more dopamine is released the more you see the brighter things in life

and all that then the second one is the serotonin. The serotonin is the mood stabilizer so that all the anxiety and negativity is done away with. We have the oxytocin which they call the social

or the love hormone. It's bring people together. It's so important that it's not only like only in just your own personal or whatever, but science has shown that there's some chemicals in the brain are released

more to to help us, the more grateful we are, the more these positive hormones are released. And it actually transforms our life. So it's so important. Yeah. I remember one time when I was very young and just that type of youth where you spend your whole paycheck by the time you get your next one. And I was broke all the time. And a friend of mine, I can't remember if I got it from Anthony Robbins or it was somewhere around that time that I started listening to Anthony Robbins. But my friend said, always keep a $100 bill with you and just keep it in your pocket and do everything you can to make that your last

hundred dollars that you ever spend for the until your next paycheck or whatever but just keep it store the hundred dollars and the concept was is you're grateful for the money you're showing that you value it to save it but it also keeps your mind on your money so every time you open your wallet you see this hundred dollar bill sitting there that's right and it's an attraction mechanism now i'm not a big believer in just if you wish for stuff and put on a board you're that it's going to come to you. But one of the reasons that it does work 25% of the time, if your goals are realistic, is because you start to focus on it. Your subconscious brain starts working on things in the background. And you know what's funny? I started having more

money and making more money and just having more money success when I did that, keeping a $100 bill on me at all times. And sometimes I get to the end of my two weeks as a broke kid and I'd have to burn the $200. But as soon as I got paid the next week, I'd give me a 100,000 dollar bill and put that in my wallet. And I'd hold on to that till the very, as far as I could. And I started getting financially successful. And I started becoming just smarter and money oriented and stuff. And so just having that gratefulness of I have money and I'm going to value it and keep it. Some of us, we treat money a bit like a tool. For some people, it's a little bit more than that. They have a lot of emotional baggage from maybe childhood about money. But

that was kind of, that was kind of the other thing that it taught me, not only be grateful, but it kind of disconnected that power that money had over me because you're like, I need more money. And you got a hundred bucks here. I'm okay. Yeah. We got a little, we got a little buffer. And it's a mental game that you play with yourself. But to me, it was a lot like what I think about with gratitude. On gratitude, I look at my dogs and I'm thankful for them. One's sitting right here beside me. And I think about the family that I have my life and people I care about. And then I dig graves for people I don't care about.

No, I'm just kidding in the backyard. But yeah, those are some of my thoughts on it. Feel free to inject here. So we start by thanking, being grateful for the life that we have, isn't it? Life itself is a gift. Yeah. We don't own tomorrow. Even the next minute, you are not sure.

what the next minute is bringing. And therefore, once we sleep and get up every day, we have to be grateful. Yeah. Yes. So I see no point in life that you said, I don't have anything to be grateful for. Yeah. The gift of life itself should be celebrated. Yeah.

And the more we appreciate that, the more things we receive and the more experiences that we have to be grateful for. I really believe that. I've told this story a couple times in the show. When I turn 50, I do a lot of performative stand-up on Facebook. Someone's tongue-in-cheek and whatever, bitching about. And it's kind of like a stand-up routine. And sometimes it's just over-dramatized because it's that way. And so I was kind of doing a bit, a comedy bit on,

whoa, it's me, I'm 50 years old, life is over, everything's going to fall apart and I'm going to die any second now. Some diet drive of crap. But it was tongue and cheek. It wasn't really, oh, is me. There might have been a little bit of truth that mixed in, right? Because I'm feeling it, the age. And someone wrote me and they were dead on.

They just hit me through like an arrow through the heart. And they go, Chris, you should probably try and be a little grateful that you made it to 50 and I really appreciate what you have because there's a whole lot of people in this world that would have loved to made it to 50 and didn't. And wow, that fucking smacked me like a freight truck. And I was like, yeah, you got a point there. And like you mentioned, waking up every morning and breathing air and being alive, you should be grateful.

Yeah. I was just, I was talking to a friend I made recently who was highly successful and he joined one of my Dent the Universe groups. So he makes a lot of money and he's a good looking guy. He's got all together. He is running about my age. And he looks like he works out. He's far better shape than I am, that's for sure. And I sent him a meme on 8 o'clock at night, somewhere between 8 o'clock at night and midnight,

something happened to with his health, and he was gone. And the next morning, I found messages from his family explaining that he had passed. And this guy was vibrant. He was probably more vibrant than me. He was all of his pictures. He's happy. He's going to these weddings. It looks like he's really just enjoying his life and doing things. But he was gone. And what's weird is he saw my message. I got the read receipt that he saw my meme, whatever the funny thing I sent people.

And he saw it. So somewhere in four hours, he was gone that night. Maybe my meme killed him. I don't know. Hopefully not. Maybe it was just so funny. He laughed himself to death. I suppose if that's a gift, I think of somebody.

I don't know. But I'm just your jokes, folks. But no, it was really, when you get older, man, there's a point of your life where you go to a lot of funerals. I'm sorry. I fucked it up. there's a point in your life where you go to a lot of weddings, and then there's another part of your life where you go a lot of funerals. Exactly.

Yeah. And so you've got to be grateful. Me and my friends during COVID, my men friends, of all people, during COVID, we didn't know if we'd see each other again. And we used to go to events and throw delicious parties that really hurt the next morning. And we started saying, I love you, man, because back then you couldn't say goodbye to anybody. If they went in the hospital, you couldn't talk to them, you can see them at that COVID. And then they'd be gone.

You couldn't even hold people's saying it. Exactly. We started realizing how important and being grateful for our loved ones or family and other people. Very much. During COVID became ungrateful and they came home. Like, oh, I think I realized the reason I work is to get away from you. Yeah. This is a great concept.

Yeah. And what made you interested in writing about being grateful? What made you, when did you first get interested in the gratefulness and the power of it? That is, as I was saying, 2018 is actually when I wrote the first book on the power of Thanksgiving, which won so many awards. And then I upgraded it in 2024 to this one. So now I'm also developing others like the A.R.G, that is the acknowledgement of negativity in life. We have to get rid of all those things.

Then the R is reconciliation and reconnection. And then the year is the giving, given of our time, giving of our advice, giving of our elements. And then the last year is gratitude living. So that one is for personal transformation. So that one is coming. Last book is coming. And then another one will be based on the elevator.

That is the elevate. The elevate is E is employee well-being and then leading with gratitude. The next E is empowerment of teams and individuals. V is the values-based recognition system. A is appreciation culture integrated. The T is transparency and equal treatment of all. And then the last E is excellence in productivity. of the employees based on gratitude, rooted in gratitude.

So the concept is that once you start develop a gratitude-centered culture in the organization, based on the foundation of employee well-being, the end result is that they give of their best engagement, better engagement, higher productivity, and the excellence based because of the, They are also grateful for what you are doing for them. So that is the Elevate book that is coming for workplace transformation. That should be really good. So do you run this program from your website or where do you run this program and how do people get involved with it?

So these programs will be through speaking engagements and then workshops that are given to organizations and societies and associations and all that, to embrace this. That's why the books are coming to back these efforts. Yeah. And so you have a YouTube channel on a podcast as well, is that correct? That's the Crafters Global Communication Channel, YouTube channel. We have two playlist there. The one is Global Voices of Legacy

that interviews global leaders and change makers, the life that they are leading to impact the world, rooted in gratitude. And then we have the the word which is a teaching podcast using the word of God

and its application to leadership development, professional development, and spiritual growth. To get to make people we live at a higher level of purpose. But yeah, and all that. Oh, yeah, very important to get involved with all that stuff and know.

Being grateful is so humbling, too. Sometimes when you get a little too much swagger, you get a little too much up into yourself, you think that nothing's wrong with you and stuff, and you don't appreciate things. And when you don't appreciate things, it seems like you don't value them as much, right? And then if you don't value them as much, it doesn't seem to draw the same sort of, what's what you call it, from different people. So, yeah, very interesting and stuff. So you've got the book, you've got the podcast, you've got the YouTube channel, and is the YouTube channel basically like copies of the podcast? Is that how it works? Is it how it works? Is the YouTube kind of the podcast or is the

YouTube that a YouTube channel that has got two playlists and the playlist are in a podcast for both of them? Yes. It's good stuff in helping people learn all this gear. Now, is there any forthcoming books that you have that you're working on. The question? Yes. Is there any other stuff that you're working on that we should know about? Yes. The Joyce Appreciation Corner online store that is also has the gratitude inspired merchandise

that people can visit and get a presence for their workers and families and friends in Connor. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so people can check that out as well. Now, you've done a lot of work with gratitude. What are some things that people can do, maybe some practical guidance, some advice on how to be more grateful. It seems like people, people just don't grateful for my stuff, but there's kind of a deeper, maybe meditation or other things that people can do. What are your suggestions on people on? How they can kind of focus on that? So as a gratitude, global gratitude ambassador, I've actually developed what's called aphorisms or quotes that I've developed by myself. And one of the quotes or aphorism is that gratitude, humility, empathy, and generosity, these four are inseparable. Because you need to be humble to be able to show gratitude. Yeah. Without humility, you think everything is, you won't.

appreciate what others have put in your life to bring you this far. So gratitude, humility, empathy. Empathy to, when you are humble and appreciate people for what they've done, then you become empathetic. You want to pay back, isn't it? Yeah. And that is where generosity also comes in. So these four are so important.

So it's important that, first of all, you appreciate. the fact that somebody somehow have planted something in your life, have invested something in your life, and therefore you want to pay it back. How you can develop gratitude? Just ask people just start one day at a time. Every day, you can just jot down. What am I grateful for today?

One experience or one person who made my mind. life better today. I have gone further and said, you also ask yourself, what one thing have I done to make another person's life better today? Because it's more blessing to give than to receive. That's true. The journals out there, they always say, remember one thing that you are grateful for. but I have added one thing. Also add one thing that you have done to make somebody's life better, a little bit better, wanting a day. Once you do that, you say that within a month, your whole perspective in life changes.

Yeah, it really does. From somebody's experience, I mentioned that person's experience in the book. this is John Kirk or whatever. The name, the, the, he was broken. He's a lawyer,

but everything seemed to have turned upside down. So he started just jotting. One day, sending what he called a Thanksgiving, thank you notes, written thank you notes to people, just one at a time.

time. Yeah. Over 365, so the book he wrote is 365, thank you. Thank you. Over that year, his whole life change for the better. Isn't that interesting? Yes. His whole life

change. One note every day for 365 days and it changed everything about his life. Got his family back, his law practice back. It went into business.

This thing works. So, one thing that for anybody who wants to experience this, just that one day at a time, you write down or you send a tango note to one person

who made your life better. Maybe somebody even had never said good money or whatever to you. That day, that person said it. Write it down. And you too, what have you done that day? Did you greet somebody that you haven't talked to

before. That alone, you write it down and you'll be surprised that even over a quarter, you will see the change in your life. It works. Yeah. Yeah, it's just so amazing how simple and easy it is. I remember there's a story I've told us several times about where I was really financially broke. The checks had to come in the mail. I was waiting for them. We'd moved our companies down to Vegas and we were waiting for our money to come, the money that come through and they were used to being delivered our checks up in Vegas from our clients. And so I was getting down at Lars last 20 bucks. And I met a guy at 7-Eleven who was reading a newspaper out of a cart. And he was reading with all of his stuff in it. He was homeless. But it was really interesting. He was reading

the newspaper and never seen a homeless person do that. And so I was like, clearly he's maybe someone who's fallen in far times. And I just had this thing to, give him some money and I gave him half of the last 20 bucks I had. And I remember thinking, geez, dude, you don't even know if you're going to have money tomorrow, man, you're giving this money away. And I just felt like he needed it more than I did. And so I gave him some money and he was very grateful and very sweet. And then I went home that day. And I'd been like a week or two where he hadn't gotten anything in the mail. And the next day, just the mail is full of money and checks and everything. And well, you can't, you can't, you can say,

some of this is circumstantial, yeah, but being humbled and helping other people in my darkest moments has always helped me. Sometimes when I'm going through really dark moments, I go try and find other people I can help. Because number one, gives me something to do, and I'm sitting my pity party going pose me. And by helping someone else, I feel like I'm giving. And sometimes you don't need to give money. You go out and help people and support them. Is there anything you need help, maybe just even talking to people, checking up with people. How are you doing today, man? I'm doing fine.

No, really. Don't give me the fine thing. How are you doing today? And just giving back, it's just interesting how that whole karma comes back to you. That's right. Anything more we need to plug before we go out, anything we want to talk about before we get going? Yeah, that's gratitude. Having that mindset and attitude in life actually opens doors.

because I can ask, I can give you at least one example. Like, anything that I have the opportunity to do, because of that gratitude mindset, I do it from the very bottom of my heart with everything that I've got. Because I feel it's an opportunity to make a difference, whether it's a paid assignment or employment or even for warranty service. And I always say this. In Ghana, we form what is called the Lady Pharmacists Association of Ghana, Lapa,

which was an NGO that we give ongoing public health education to women, groups, and the youth so that it will reach the wider society. I put in, I mean, my heart, everything that I had. At the time, I was doing it, I was the secretary. Later, I became the national chairperson. But when I was the secretary, I had this call. from an NGO in Ghana who was sponsored by the USAI. And the officer told me, we want to sponsor you to the United States.

That was before even I came here to do my PhD. Wow. Three months. We want to sponsor you to the United States to participate in a three-month NGO leaders training, all expenses paid, including my air ticket, return ticket, to go and participate in this leadership training and come and teach your people so that you improve your organization.

I said, me, I'm not the national chairperson. You said, we know that, but you have become the face of LAPAD. It's because I was doing everything from the bottom of my heart. I never had any intention to draw attention to myself. That gratitude, mindset, and attitude in life, it opens doors for you,

you because when you are doing things from the perspective of being appreciative of opportunities opportunities to make a difference not you are doing it for something yeah some people have the entitlement mindset i don't have that one i take everything as an opportunity to make a difference and that really it goes on to open bigger doors for me it sure does it's interesting how paying it forward can really help with good karma And even then you shouldn't do it to expect. We're all stewards of each other on this planet. We all need to make life better.

Sometimes just pat somebody on the back or giving a smile and say, have a nice day or hope you're doing well. Sometimes people, they meet the next person. They'll be like, hey, have a nice day. It's interesting how when we're rude and mean to people, maybe we get stuck in traffic and we yell something out the window at people for driving wrong or something. And then that kind of ruins their day. So they go ruin somebody else. It just kind of passes along.

So sometimes just doing something good in the world, you'd be surprised at how many people it can change. And it may touch people you never even meet or never even know. And that's the beauty of all that. Yeah. Yeah. So as we go out, give people a final pitch out to pick up your book, get involved with all your different projects you're working on, and all that good stuff and all the dot-coms. Yeah. So, first of all, this is the book.

I don't know that you see it. Yeah. So are you grateful? I did you live in? Science, scripture, and testimonials confirm its power. Ah. So it's on Amazon.

It's on Barnes & Noble's. We have the e-book. We have the audio book, which is very interesting, because the songs of praise inside was actually sung, and with piano accompaniment by the narrator. So I really love the audiobook, yes.

And then we have the soft cover and then the heart cover as well. Ah, you got both there, everything. Yeah, wonderful stuff there and wonderful uplifting stuff, Dr. Joyce. Thank you very much for coming to show. We really appreciate it. Thank you so much, Chris, for having me. Thank you. And thanks to my honest for tuning in.

Order a bookup or fine books are sold to be a link for it on the Chris Voss show. Are you grateful? gratitude, living, science, scripture, and testimonials confirm its power. And I can sure confirm that too after decades of living a life. And focusing on being grateful is one of the best things I do. In fact, I kind of, I just added something for my week called, What are you smiling and excited about today? And it's a question that I hope I ask myself.

I see it's on my task schedule. And so I have to look at it, just like I have to look at the grateful, what I call it, gratitude for gratefulness, grounding day? Yeah, it's a way to ground myself. So, yeah, having these reminders to be grateful for something today. Say thank you for something today. Sometimes you're rewarding yourself and saying, giving yourself a pound on the bat, like, hey, thanks for getting that task done.
