Biografia e Jornada do Autor
Kelly McGonigal built her career at the meeting point of academic psychology and public communication. Raised in a family of public school teachers, she has often linked her own vocation to that educational environment, and she has also been publicly identified as the identical twin of game designer Jane McGonigal. She studied psychology and mass communication at Boston University, then earned a PhD in psychology at Stanford University, where she went on to teach and develop a reputation for translating research on the mind-body connection into accessible, practical guidance. Stanford has described her as a leading figure in the field of “science-help,” a label that captures both her scholarly training and her unusually broad public reach.
