Jonathan Haidt, PhD
- Jonathan Haidt, PhD, is the author of the newly-released, “The Happiness Hypothesis,” which has received raves all over the world from people saying it is ‘must’ reading to understand the new science behind Positive Psychology. Jon is currently working at Princeton University on a sabbatical from the University of Virginia, where he received the “Outstanding Faculty Award” in 2004 as one of ten outstanding professors in that state. He was also the recipient of the 2001 Templeton Prize in Positive Psychology, the field’s highest honor.
In our interview, Jon talks about why Positive Psychology matters and has staying power, how fatherhood has created more joy for him, why the craze around “The Secret” is offensive to him, and how we can all create more awe, happiness and elevation in our own lives. We also touch upon the research on happy families and his well-known Character Improvement Project that his students undertake at UVA as a final exam. This wasa delightful, thoughtful and fun interview in just twenty minutes!
