A Recipe for a Happy Life

From Psychology Today | September 6, 2019

If you could ask every human being on Earth one question—what is the recipe for a happy life?—you would likely end up with an encyclopedia of vibrant ingredients. Some of them would sound familiar, like health, purpose, or love. Others—like owning an alpaca farm and mastering jazz—would be more idiosyncratic.

“Greater Good is unparalleled in bringing together fresh ideas, the latest science, and daily practices that can help people thrive. If you want to learn about empirically proven ways to enhance personal well-being while building more compassionate connections with others, the Greater Good Science Center is the place to start.”

― Kristin Neff, Ph.D., associate professor, University of Texas at Austin & author of Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself
