Background

Dr. Tchiki (pronounced "Chicky") Davis was born and raised in health-conscious Boulder, Colorado. In 2015 she completed a PhD from The University of California, Berkeley in social psychology, where she studied well-being, technology & entrepreneurship. 

In 2016, she started The Berkeley Well-Being Institute in an effort to transform the research on the science of happiness into cutting-edge well-being products - products that are still not being created or offered anywhere else. She started by creating The Happiness Skills Workbook to help people develop skills that increase happiness, The Positivity Workbook to help people strengthen connections in their brains related to positive emotion, and a variety of activities to help kids develop emotional intelligence and happiness. In addition, Dr. Davis advises and collaborates with businesses to design and develop technology products that enhance well-being. These products have now reached more than a million people worldwide. 

What gets Dr. Davis most excited is working on innovative projects that aim to transform the science of happiness into articles, products, and technologies that make a real difference in people's lives. She also regularly shares her insights in publications including, Psychology Today, The Greater Good Science Center, ShineText.com, Mindful.org, and Jhana. The best way to stay up-to-date on her most recent thinking is to follow her on LinkedIn or sign up for her mailing list.
