Greater Good Science Center
Based at UC Berkeley, the Greater Good Science Center (GGSC) explores the roots of happy and compassionate individuals, strong social connections, and altruistic behavior: the science of a meaningful life.
For 25 years, the GGSC has provided a bridge between scientists and the public, turning research findings into practical resources that support well-being for all. Its award-winning multimedia resources—including videos, online courses, the Science of Happiness podcast, and Greater Good online magazine—reach more than 1 million people each month, providing a welcome antidote to the epidemics of loneliness, despair, and division.
The GGSC’s educational programs offer special support to people who are ambassadors for compassion and kindness in the world—including teachers, parents, health professionals, and workplace and community leaders—enabling them to foster social and emotional well-being on a massive scale.
The GGSC is supported through the generosity of its donors; it is not funded by the university. Please visit ggsc.berkeley.edu to learn more about the center’s work or email [email protected] to learn how you can help it bring more resilience, goodness, and hope to the world.
