【Course Objectives】

Students will be able to:

• Identify key psychological, social, and biological factors in happiness
• Understand the relationship between happiness, human connection, and social qualities, such as compassion, altruism, and gratitude
• Describe the principles behind why specific activities boost happiness
• Apply lessons from positive & social psychology to their own personal lives, enhancing their self-understanding

【Course Contents】

This course studies the science of positive psychology and explores the roots of a happy and meaningful life. Students will engage with some of the most provocative and practical lessons from this science, discovering how to apply key insights from cutting-edge research into their own lives.

The course will zero in on the fundamental finding from positive psychology: that happiness is inextricably linked to having strong social connections and contributing to something bigger than yourself—the greater good. Students will learn about the cross-disciplinary research supporting this view, spanning the fields of psychology, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and beyond.

Research suggests that up to 40 percent of happiness depends on our habits and day-to-day activities. This course will offer students real-life techniques for nurturing their own happiness.
