GGSC Founding Director and UC Berkeley Psychology Professor Dacher Keltner publishes research on the complex relationship between how we conceptualize experiencing art in terms of both the emotions it elicits within us and the aesthetic qualities we perceive from it.

“It is a great good and a great gift, this Greater Good. I bow to you for your efforts to bring these uplifting and illuminating expressions of humanity, grounded in good science, to the attention of us all.”

― Jon Kabat-Zinn, author and founder of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program
