Christine Carter Biography

Dr. Christine Carter is an author, speaker, coach, and sociologist whose work focuses on the intersection of science and everyday life. Carter graduated summa cum laude from Dartmouth College and earned master's and doctoral degrees in sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research draws from psychology, sociology, and neuroscience to develop strategies for coping with modern pressures and to promote thriving within organizations, families, and schools.

Carter served as executive director of the University of California, Berkeley Greater Good Science Center, where she continues as a sociologist and senior fellow. The center is an interdisciplinary research institute that translates the study of happiness, resilience, and emotional intelligence for the public. Carter's work aims to inspire systemic change in corporations, families, and schools, with a focus on how cultures and institutions shape behaviors, beliefs, and emotions.

She is an advisor on the BetterUp Science Board and contributes to Greater Good, Psychology Today, and Fast Company. Carter's books include "The New Adolescence," "The Sweet Spot: How to Achieve More by Doing Less," "Raising Happiness," and "The Other Side of Silence." She is the founder of Wellspan, a program that integrates wearable technology, lifestyle medicine, and behavioral science to support women's well-being. Carter also teaches at the Modern Elder Academy in Baja California and Santa Fe.

Her TED Talks have been viewed by millions. Carter has appeared on television and radio programs including the "Oprah Winfrey Show," the "Dr. Oz Show," the "TODAY" show, "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," CBS Sunday Morning, PBS, NPR, and BBC Radio. She has been featured in major newspapers such as The New York Times, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, Boston Globe, and The Wall Street Journal. Carter has been nominated twice for an award from the American Sociological Association for public sociology.

Her clients include Google, Pixar, Nike, Salesforce, Microsoft, Hilton, YouTube, the American Heart Association, Wells Fargo, JetBlue, Kaiser Permanente, Boston Consulting Group, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, as well as schools, families, and small businesses. Carter frequently shares her research and practical strategies with audiences, combining scientific insights with actionable guidance on well-being, resilience, and positive organizational culture.
