So What Really Makes People Happy?

From Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism | March 20, 2014

Pharrell's feeling "Happy," but how about you? In honor of the UN's International Day of Happiness on March 20, we're delving into what it is that makes us happy and why we should strive for happiness — or not. Christine Carter, sociologist and happiness expert at UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, shares what it is that makes us most happy.

“The Greater Good Science Center is the epicenter for research on happiness and gratitude.”
