## What is The Good List?

What if you could live a happier and more meaningful life by investing just a few minutes a day?
Using research-based practices, The Good List is your guide to a more fulfilling life. All of the content in the app is based on decades of research and analysis done at prestigious institutions like UC Berkley, Yale, Harvard, Duke, University of Pennsylvania, and more. 

The Good List can make practicing these skills easy by choosing from curated pathways carefully designed to meet your goals or browse the full catalogue of practices to pick whichever one speaks to you.

Science has shown gratitude, connection, self-compassion and purpose to be key components of a more fulfilling life. Science has also shown that all of these skills can be learned with practice.

Just as we must practice to learn other skills like playing the guitar or piano, or learning a new language, practicing these mindfulness skills will help us live a happier and more fulfilling life and make them part of our daily lives.

### 1/5 — Good wow

*2023-05-30*

Thanks

### 5/5 — Part of my daily self care

*2022-06-13*

Love this app! It has quickly become part of my daily self care routine. I started using it when it was still in beta and I just loved the ease of just picking a path and then coming in every day to do the suggested practice. It keeps things fresh and reminds me on days that I forget to come back. The prompts keep things fresh and I can’t wait to see what else they add to the app.

### 5/5 — A great new way to be mindful

*2021-11-02*

This app is a totally new approach to journaling. I love that it teaches me the basics behind why this stuff works. The addition of audio really makes this app stand out from others I have used. It feels like a life coach is right there with you. I look forward to more practices.

### 5/5 — Great reminders, easy to use

*2021-11-02*

Love the daily journaling and focused breathing
