Dan Gilbert Biography

Daniel Gilbert is the Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, where his research has significantly influenced the fields of psychology, behavioral economics, law, and medicine. He is recognized as a Science of Happiness expert and explores topics such as the misconceptions about happiness, decision-making, and the limitations of human imagination in predicting happiness. His work lies at the intersection of psychology and behavioral economics.

He has authored the book "Stumbling on Happiness," which spent 6 months on the New York Times bestseller list, has been translated into more than 30 languages, and has sold over a million copies worldwide. This book also won the Royal Society’s General Book Prize for best science book of the year. Gilbert's engaging and often humorous style of writing and speaking has made his work widely accessible and influential.

In addition to his writing, Gilbert has hosted and co-written the award-winning NOVA television series "This Emotional Life" which was seen by more than 10 million viewers in its first airing. He has also hosted the PBS television series "Secrets of Happiness." His contributions to public discourse include appearances on numerous television shows such as "The Today Show," "Charlie Rose," "20/20," "The Colbert Report," and "The Late Show." His expertise and insights have been featured in outlets like Time, The New York Times, and NPR’s All Things Considered.

Gilbert's impact extends to digital and social media platforms. His TED talks have been viewed by more than 15 million people, and his first TED talk is among the 15 most popular of all time. In 2014, Science magazine recognized him as one of the world’s 50 most-followed scientists on social media. He has won numerous awards for his research and teaching, including the American Psychological Association’s Distinguished Scientific Award for an Early Career Contribution to Psychology, and in 2008, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Throughout his career, Gilbert has demonstrated a profound ability to dissect complex scientific ideas into engaging concepts that resonate with a broad audience, making substantial contributions to both academic and public life.
