The Greater Good Science Center "Science of Happiness" Podcast
Do you know the secret to happiness? Most people want to know -- and some people think they already do.
It turns out it's not a secret. Social science research over the past 20 years tells us a lot about what really goes into a meaningful, joyful, socially connected life.
The Greater Good Science Center is creating a new podcast, The Science of Happiness, to share these insights with listeners all around the world. We already reach millions of readers with our award-winning online magazine, and hundreds of thousands of students in our Science of Happiness online course. Now, proven research, simple tips, and compelling stories will be with you on your phone, wherever you go.
Public Radio International has already agreed to help distribute the podcast on its huge network, and we'll be in the iTunes and Google Play stores. The whole season of 26 bi-weekly episodes will be entirely for free to listeners.
It costs over $100,000 to produce an entire season, and you can be a part of helping make this new resource a reality -- for yourself and for the benefit of thousands of people around the world.
Please support the new Greater Good podcast series with a donation today. We're eager to get into the studio and into your earbuds -- and we can't do it without you. Thank you!
