Christine Carter is a sociologist, author, keynote speaker and senior fellow at the University of California, Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center. She is often called a " happiness expert." [1] [2]
Biography
Carter's research has found that happiness is not just a desirable thing to have, it is instead a functional emotion that helps individuals fulfill their potential. [3] It is also important to teach people how to be happy or how to attain happiness, which can, in turn lead to greater productivity, more creativity and a better ability to learn. [3]
Carter has spoken at a TEDx Conference in 2012, where she described how compassion and happiness are often tied together. [4]
In 2010, she received an award from the Council on Contemporary Families for her "outstanding science-based reporting on family issues." [5]
The Sweet Spot was considered "standard fare," but recommended for skimming by Business Week. [6]
