Dacher Keltner Dacher Keltner, psychology professor and director of the Greater Good Science Center (GGSC) at UC Berkeley for the last thirty years has been researching human emotions, starting with micro-movements of facial muscles and more recently the relationship between powerlessness and health outcomes. Having also written books and co-created one of the most popular MOOCs (massive open online courses) in the country. Keltner started to study psychology around the time that the belief that the methodology of psychological analysis changed dramatically from having implications that the human brain functioned primarily rationalizing and pure facts to toward more of an emotional revolution. Keltner dealt with anxiety throughout his life while growing up and thus set him on his goal to finding what he describes as the "greater good" and what that meant to Keltner was ultimately happiness. Major inspiration was also taken from the hit series Tv show known as Lie to Me in the sense that Keltner found influence what could potentially be a discovery into figuring out how humans truly feel even when one does not realize how they feel, and that was by analyzing micro-emotions which was what the show was based on. Micro-emotions were an idea proposed by the show Lie to Me in that Micro-emotion were a way for people to expressed how they truly felt like by using their facial expression seconds after the cause. Keltner felt that there was a study to be conducted and implications that could be made from micro-expression and so Keltner was inspired to find an answer. Soon after Keltner's daughter had died from cancer and after the events of 9/ 11, Keltner opened the organization known as Greater Good Science Center. Keltner proposed that he did not want the organization to become just another academic center just for sponsoring meetings, Keltner truly wanted to find the Greater Good in happiness and promote others to share the kindness and gratuity with others by exploring techniques in doing so with science .
The center was founded by Dacher Keltner, following the death of his daughter from cancer and the September 11, 2001 attacks .
