Based at UC Berkeley, the Greater Good Science Center reports on groundbreaking research into the roots of compassion, happiness, and altruism.When thinking about how we educate our children, the Greater Good Education Program starts with the question, “What kind of world do we want to live in?” The question is big, but our answer is simple: a kind, compassionate, and equitable one.We then roll up our sleeves and dig into the hard and messy, but deeply rewarding work of creating that world—with you, the students, teachers, school psychologists, administrators, and policy-makers.
