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.

Jeremy Adam Smith edits the Greater Good Science Center's online magazine, Greater Good. He is author of The Daddy Shift, and co-editor of three anthologies. His coverage of racial and economic segregation in San Francisco, CA, schools has won numerous honours, including the Sigma Delta Chi Award for investigative reporting, and he is a three-time winner of the John Swett Award from the California Teachers Association.
