Misfortune itself is rarely cause for thanks, but Emmons says a broader sense of gratitude—religious or not—comes from learning to take nothing for granted. "Our national holiday of gratitude, Thanksgiving, was born and grew out of hard times," he writes for the GGSC. "The first Thanksgiving took place after nearly half the pilgrims died from a rough winter and year. It became a national holiday in 1863 in the middle of the Civil War and was moved to its current date in the 1930s following the Depression." Even among war veterans with post-traumatic stress syndrome, a study published in Behaviour Research and Therapy found that dispositional gratitude predicted things like daily self-esteem, "daily intrinsically motivating activity" and percentage of pleasant days "over and above" the severity of PTSD.

不幸本身很少成為感恩的理由，但埃蒙斯說，一種更廣泛的感恩之心——無論是否信教——來自于學會不把任何事視為理所當然。他在GGSC網站上寫道:“我們國家感恩的節日——感恩節——誕生了，并在艱難時期成長起來。”第一個感恩節發生在將近一半的清教徒死于一個艱難的冬天和一年之后。1863年美國內戰期間，感恩節成為美國的國定假日，并在20世紀30年代的大蕭條后改為現在的節日。”一項發表在《行為研究與治療》雜志上的研究發現，即使是患有創傷后應激綜合癥的戰爭老兵，性格上的感激之情也比創傷后應激障礙的嚴重程度更能預測諸如日常自尊、"日常內在激勵活動"和快樂時光的比例等因素。
