The correct answer is Martin Seligman's "Gratitude Visit" happiness exercise. Martin Seligman, who is also known as the father of positive psychology was a proponent for practicing gratitude in order to increase happiness levels and overcome depression. Seligman stated that expressing gratitude and words of appreciation to those that have had a profoundly positive effect on our lives is an effective way to feel better and increase our levels of happiness.
