Based at UC Berkeley, the Greater Good Science Center provides a bridge between the research community and the general public.
We study the psychology, sociology, and neuroscience of well-being and teach skills that foster a thriving, resilient, and compassionate society.
Founded in 2001, our center sprang from the generosity and inspiration of Berkeley alumni Thomas and Ruth Ann Hornaday.
We equip individuals with science-based knowledge and skills that shape their beliefs and broadly improve social and emotional well-being.
