Todd B. Kashdan

I’m a twin with twin 7-year old daughters, with plans to rapidly populate the world with great conversationalists. As a clinical psychologist, scientist, public speaker, and consultant, I help people function optimally in life and business. My quest is to share cutting edge science so that others can have more frequent moments of pleasure, engagement, meaning, love, and play.

I have been involved in positive psychology since its humble beginnings. As a Professor of Psychology and Senior Scientist at the Center for the Advancement of Well-Being at George Mason University, my work has focused on social relationships, anxiety, positive emotions, purpose in life, how personal strengths operate in everyday life, and how to foster and sustain happiness and meaning in life. For over 10 years, I have been teaching college courses on the science of well-being.
