The Gratitude Project
The Gratitude Project explores gratitude’s deep roots in human psychology—how it evolved and how it affects our brain—as well as the transformative impact it has on creating a meaningful life and a better world. This book is the result of a multiyear collaboration between the Greater Good Science Center and Robert Emmons of the University of California, Davis, with essays based on new research and written by renowned positive psychologists and public figures.
The Happy Design Toolkit
If you were to design a building that prioritises occupants’ happiness, what would it look like? How would the materials, form and layout support healthy ways of living and working? Delving into the evidenced-based research on architecture and mental wellbeing, The Happy Design Toolkit helps you to create happier places. It explores how factors, such as lighting, comfort, control over our environments and access to nature, exercise and social interaction, can impact how we feel. Easy-to-understand tips include bringing nature into your developments with roof gardens and living facades and countering social isolation with communal areas that encourage chance interaction.

The Six Conversations
It’s time for a conversation revival! Conversation is getting harder. We’re feeling more isolated. Loneliness is becoming an epidemic. The Six Conversations reflects one of the deepest passions of Dr. Heather Holleman’s heart: to connect people in loving community. How can I foster meaningful connection with others? Why doesn’t anyone ever ask meaningful questions? If my personal happiness depends upon having warm relationships—like all the research shows—how can I become a better conversationalist and create connection? Heather’s work demonstrates how we can develop authentic community by changing our relational mindsets to believe the best about others, to express concern about their lives, and to share our own. Heather shows us how to embrace the Four Mindsets of a Loving Conversation and the Three Fresh Goals for Conversation. Readers will be equipped with effective questions, self-assessments, and action steps to immediately implement in any situation—both personally and professionally.
Graphic
Today, almost anyone can upload and disseminate newsworthy content online, which has radically transformed our information ecosystem. Yet this often leaves us exposed to content produced without ethical or professional guidelines. In Graphic, Alexa Koenig and Andrea Lampros examine this dynamic and share best practices for safely navigating our digital world. Drawing on the latest social science research, original interviews, and their experiences running the world's first university-based digital investigations lab, Koenig and Lampros provide practical tips for maximizing the benefits and minimizing the harms of being online. In the wake of the global pandemic, they ask: How are people processing graphic news as they spend more time online? What practices can newsrooms, social media companies, and social justice organizations put in place to protect their employees from vicarious trauma and other harms? Timely and urgent, Graphic helps us navigate the unprecedented psychological implications of the digital age.
Sustainers and Sustainability
This book, the result of the author's experience in psychology and forestry studies, studies the relation between these two seemingly different disciplines. The author indicates how human actions and programs affect a range of threatened or endangered situations ranging from forests and species of animals to our own traditional values and cultural groups. Sustainers, the persons who advocate and support sustainability, possess or must come to possess certain characteristics that are shown to be renunciation, knowledge, attitude, controllability, and patterning. This book seeks to discover and advocates how and why those attributes must be strengthened if we are to sustain our environment and ourselves.

The Science of Happiness Workbook
A practical, research-based guide to cultivating greater well-being and stronger relationships for everyone. If we’re seeking more happiness in our lives, it can be challenging to figure out where to start or what habits to change. But with this workbook from UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, based on cutting-edge wellness research and the center’s wildly popular “The Science of Happiness” course and podcast, readers have a new resource for finding fulfillment and meaning in their everyday experiences. Here readers will find short, step-by-step practices that they can incorporate into their daily life—many that only take 5 or 10 minutes. They’re designed to help readers cultivate the skills and traits that decades of research show can reliably help us feel happier and more connected to others, from self-compassion to awe to empathy to purpose. Alongside those practices are additional insights and tools to support their journey, including quizzes, tips for overcoming obstacles, and stories of people around the world who have applied these lessons to their lives.
