The social experiment showed that 99 at 100 people express gratitude. “I didn't think we were going to get 99. I don’t know why. But I was pleasantly surprised because beyond just ‘thank you’, people got into conversation with us, said Steve Foran”, CEO of gratitude work. “What we know from research is that from grateful people come good things”, he said. The simple way to induce gratitude in people is opening doors as (6) we went to 6 places and open the doors for people. For the experiment, Foran’s team went to a shopping center, a mall, two office buildings and a coffee shop. The door was held for 15 to 20 people at a time at each location. (7) “We did have one that didn’t say thank you. We were not here to judge them because on any given day that could be me or you.
