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.

不幸本身很少成为感恩的理由，但埃蒙斯说，一种更广泛的感恩之心——无论是否信教——来自于学会不把任何事视为理所当然。他在GGSC网站上写道:“我们国家感恩的节日——感恩节——诞生了，并在艰难时期成长起来。”第一个感恩节发生在将近一半的清教徒死于一个艰难的冬天和一年之后。1863年美国内战期间，感恩节成为美国的国定假日，并在20世纪30年代的大萧条后改为现在的节日。”一项发表在《行为研究与治疗》杂志上的研究发现，即使是患有创伤后应激综合症的战争老兵，性格上的感激之情也比创伤后应激障碍的严重程度更能预测诸如日常自尊、"日常内在激励活动"和快乐时光的比例等因素。
