Biography
[edit]Carter's research has found that happiness is not just a desirable thing to have, it is instead a functional emotion that helps individuals fulfill their potential.[3] It is also important to teach people how to be happy or how to attain happiness, which can, in turn lead to greater productivity, more creativity and a better ability to learn.[3]
Carter has spoken at a TEDx Conference in 2012, where she described how compassion and happiness are often tied together.[4]
In 2010, she received an award from the Council on Contemporary Families for her "outstanding science-based reporting on family issues."[5]
