Being a good citizen is critical to our well being and to our community. However, more emphasis is placed on achievement and less is placed on caring for others. What if you being a good citizen is weighed just as heavily as your SAT score? Harvard Professor Richard Weissbourd is a Senior Lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and he also teaches at the Kennedy School of Government. His work focuses on moral development, meaning and purpose, mental health challenges among teens and young adults and effective schools and services for children facing risks. He directs the Making Caring Common Project, a national effort to make moral and social development priorities in child-raising and to provide strategies to schools and parents for promoting in children caring, a commitment to justice and other key moral and social capacities. He leads an initiative to reform college admissions, Turning the Tide, which seeks to elevate ethical character, reduce excessive achievement pressure and increase equity and access in the college admissions process. He is also conducting research on how older adults can better mentor young adults and teenagers in developing caring, mature romantic relationships. In this episode, he shares his research and gives us actionable advice on how to improve our well being through kindness and caring for others.Web: https://www.gse.harvard.edu/directory/faculty/richard-weissbourdYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG1_DIh33LfXaiEiOscEyGQInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/alitakguillen/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/10secondstoair/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alitaguillen/Web: https://www.alitaguillen.com/Web: https://www.10secondstoair.com/
