What is the problem you solve and how do you solve it?

There was a gap between research and how to translate the results into real-world application. We exist to take academic findings and develop tools and programs to effectively and measurably contribute to a kinder world. The real problem is that there are many issues plaguing our society from bullying to loneliness to stress at work all of which have a profound impact on our mental health. Our research has shown that a kind act is one of the most effective ways to simultaneously improve the well-being of you and another individual. Kindness also effects your happiness and contributes to lower stress. Everything we do is geared towards motivating people to choose kindness more often, to make it their default when possible.
