“This is THE
parenting book.  This is the one to read
over and over.  So much wisdom and
empathy, all based in real science.  My
children owe Christine Carter big time.” -- Kelly Corrigan, author of The Middle Place

“The learning curve
for all parents is in failure analysis—where and how we went off course—and how
we can do better the next go round. Enter Raising Happiness, a compendium of
ideas and suggestions on how to do better and how to increase happiness and joy
in all families. Read it, enjoy, and most importantly, put it into practice.” --
Mike Riera, Ph.D., author Field Guide to
the American Teenager and Right From
Wrong

“Raising Happiness is
an elegant, funny, and rigorous handbook for the humbling task of raising
joyful children. Brimming with brilliantly distilled science, poignant stories
from her family, and what parents so urgently seek – clear, practical, and
informed guidance – it is an encyclopedia of wisdom for raising children in
today’s multitasking, multimedia world.” -- Dacher Keltner, author Born To Be Good: The Science of A Meaningful
Life, Professor of Psychology, University
of California, Berkeley

Christine Carter Ph.D., a sociologist, Executive Director of
the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, and mother of two young
children herself, reveals ten simple principles, distilled from years of
fascinating research, to help parents foster the skills, habits, and mindsets
that will set the stage for positive emotions now and into their adolescence
and beyond.

Psychologists, sociologists, psychiatrists, and neurologists
study happiness through single focus lenses, but when you put together their
disparate research -- as Carter does at the Greater Good Science Center -- you
see proof that happiness is a skill; it is a muscle any parent can help their
child build and maintain. In her new book, Carter
covers the day-to-day pressure points of

Parenting -- how best to discipline, get kids to school and
activities on time, and get dinner on the table -- as well as the more elusive
issues of helping children build healthy friendships and develop emotional
intelligence.
