Science of Happiness and Connection at UC Berkeley

The Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley helps people use science to build happier, more connected lives and communities. Since 2001, they have studied how kindness, connection, and well-being work in real life. They share this research through Greater Good Magazine, which offers articles, videos, and podcasts about building empathy and resilience.

They provide free science-based activities that anyone can try to boost gratitude, mindfulness, and compassion. Their popular online course 'The Science of Happiness' has reached hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. They also create special tools for teachers, workplaces, and community groups to help build emotional well-being and stronger connections.

Their Bridging Differences program helps people have better conversations across divides. All their work is based on real scientific research but made easy to understand and use. They believe that when people feel better inside, they can create positive change in their communities.

Their resources are free and available online to anyone who wants to live a more meaningful, connected life.
