Dr. David Schramm

I'm a professor, family life educator, husband, father, grandfather, and lifelong student of what helps people thrive.

For more than 20 years, I've studied happiness, relationships, parenting, and well-being. Along the way, I've discovered something important: most people don't need more information—they need simple, practical ideas they can actually use.

That's why I write books like the Happy Hacks series. My goal is to take the best research from positive psychology, family science, and human flourishing and turn it into straightforward strategies that help people feel happier, build stronger relationships, and create more meaningful lives.

I serve as a professor and Extension Family Life Specialist at Utah State University, co-host the Stronger Marriage Connection podcast, co-created the "Happy Class" at USU and I live in North Logan, Utah with my wife Jamie and am grateful every day for our children, grandchild, and the opportunities I have to help others flourish.
