Welcome to The Berkeley Well-Being Institute
Our goal is to help you build the mental, emotional, and behavioral skills you need to feel happier, healthier, and more socially connected... even in the digital age.
The Mission
You're Not Alone In Your Struggle To Find Happiness
If you look at just about any metric, you’ll see that we’re not as happy as we used to be.
Even though many of us are not struggling with major mental health issues, most of us are struggling in our own seemingly small, yet significant ways. Maybe our chronic self-doubt keeps us from enjoying our life. Maybe we need a couple glasses of wine each night just to de-stress. Or maybe our persistent feeling of loneliness leads us to compulsively check our social media accounts.
Many of us now have this nagging sense that something is missing from our lives…but we can’t quite put our finger on what the actual problem is. Each person's experience is unique, but the feeling is the same: we feel disconnected—disconnected from ourselves, others, community, and an infinite number of other small things that we can’t even quite identify.
Building the skills we need to be happy... in the digital age
The result of being chronically connected to the Internet (on our phones, computers, and other devices) is that we’re losing our connections to the things that really matter—the things that make us happy. When we reconnect to the things that really matter, we finally find some happiness—the kind of happiness that we won’t want to stop pursuing, the kind of happiness that no one could convince us to stop pursuing, the kind of happiness that lasts for life.
