Brian Gibson

Summary

Are our schools preparing children for success or well-being? 
In an age of rising stress, disconnection, and mental health struggles among students, traditional education is no longer enough. Parents, educators, and policymakers are asking urgent questions: What does it truly mean to thrive in school? How do we prepare children not just to perform, but to flourish? 
Educating for Happiness offers a powerful answer: by integrating the science of positive psychology and the practice of social-emotional learning (SEL) into the heart of our classrooms. 
In this groundbreaking book, you’ll discover: 
•	How happiness, emotional intelligence, and resilience impact academic performance and life outcomes 
•	Proven strategies for teaching SEL that foster empathy, self-awareness, and healthier relationships 
•	Real-world case studies from classrooms that are already transforming student well-being 
•	Practical frameworks for educators, administrators, and parents to build more emotionally intelligent schools 
•	The future of education—and why student well-being is its cornerstone 
Backed by cutting-edge research and years of experience at the intersection of psychology and education, the author makes a clear and urgent case: emotional and mental health are not extras, they are essentials.
