The Science of a Meaningful Life

Overview
The Greater Good Science Center (GGSC) at UC Berkeley bridges the gap between scientific research and everyday life, helping people apply the science of compassion, connection, and well-being to build stronger communities and a more empathetic world. Since 2001, GGSC has been a trusted source of research-backed insights on how to live a more connected, resilient, and purpose-driven life—at home, at work, and in society.

Why It Matters
At The Change Lab, we believe belonging and civic renewal start with human connection. GGSC provides the research, tools, and real-world practices that help individuals and institutions strengthen empathy, bridge divides, and support mental and emotional well-being. Their accessible, inspiring work reinforces the idea that inner change and social change are deeply linked.
