    Episode 226 - Gratitude, Obligation, and the Art of Giving Without Expectation
    Mar 4 2025
    On this week's episode of the Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom explores the complex nature of gratitude and obligation. True gratitude, when genuine, can be life-changing. But when imposed, it can feel much closer to shame than appreciation. How do we distinguish between authentic gratitude and the obligation to express it? And when we give, do we do so freely—or with an unspoken demand for acknowledgment? Reflecting on the words of Teresa of Avila, "When one reaches the highest degree of human maturity, one has only one question left: 'How can I be helpful?" Mitch explores how shifting our focus from receiving thanks to simply giving can lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
