Greater Good Conversations is a livestream series from the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley. Each session brings together leading researchers, authors, and practitioners to explore the science of well-being — and what it means in your life, work, and relationships.
What if having a sense of humor could actually make you a better person – more connected, more able to navigate life’s hardest moments?
Join UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center for a live conversation with comedian, author, and podcaster Chris Duffy and GGSC’s Kelly Rafferty, Ph.D., exploring humor not as an escape from life’s challenges, but as a way through them.
Drawing on scientific research and personal experience, Chris and Kelly will dig into the surprising ways that cultivating a sense of humor can make us more present, connected, and collaborative as we work together for the greater good, building a better future together.
This conversation will cover:
- A live practice with Chris to get you laughing (and thinking) right away
- A conversation drawing on the science of humor as a well-being practice
- Research-backed tools for cultivating your own sense of humor
- A live Q&A
Chris Duffy is the author of Humor Me: How Laughing More Can Make You Present, Creative, Connected, and Happy and host of the podcast How to Be a Better Human. Kelly Rafferty, Ph.D., is the GGSC's Bridging Differences Content & Engagement Manager.
Come with curiosity, leave with a better sense of humor. We guarantee it.
