**Berkeley, CA** – The Greater Good Science Center (GGSC) at UC Berkeley has released its monthly Happiness Calendar, designed to help individuals manage stress and improve well-being. This month’s calendar offers daily guidance on cultivating happiness and resilience. The GGSC also announced several new initiatives focused on fostering compassion and understanding across social and political divides.
The Center’s work, which draws on psychology, sociology, and neuroscience, explores evidence-based strategies for improving relationships and dialogue. Recent GGSC projects include interviews with Israelis and Gazans exploring their perspectives on each other and the future, and an examination of the role of social media in spreading conspiracy theories. The Center also highlights the importance of intellectual humility in navigating disagreements and the significance of strong social connections.
The GGSC offers online courses focusing on workplace satisfaction and connection, and recently announced its “Greater Goodies” selections, showcasing films that exemplify positive human qualities. The Center is actively seeking subscribing members to support its mission of bringing “the science of a meaningful life” to a global audience. More information, including the Happiness Calendar, can be found on the GGSC website.
