Book Description
A practical, research-based guide to cultivating greater well-being and stronger relationships for everyone.
If we’re seeking more happiness in our lives, it can be challenging to figure out where to start or what habits to change. But with this workbook from UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, based on cutting-edge wellness research and the center’s wildly popular “The Science of Happiness” course and podcast, readers have a new resource for finding fulfillment and meaning in their everyday experiences.
Here readers will find short, step-by-step practices that they can incorporate into their daily life―many that only take 5 or 10 minutes. They’re designed to help readers cultivate the skills and traits that decades of research show can reliably help us feel happier and more connected to others, from self-compassion to awe to empathy to purpose. Alongside those practices are additional insights and tools to support their journey, including quizzes, tips for overcoming obstacles, and stories of people around the world who have applied these lessons to their lives.
