Happiness Class from Yale (free)

Happiness Class from Yale (free)
This Coursera course is a shortened version of the most popular class ever taught at Yale University, a class called “Psychology and the Good Life.” I decided to teach this Yale course because I was worried about the levels of student depression, anxiety, and stress that I was seeing as a Professor and Head of College at Yale. I originally developed this course to teach Yale students how the science of psychology can provide important hints about how to make wiser choices and how to live a life that’s happier and more fulfilling. Since I’m not an expert on positive psychology, I began by learning more about this topic, diving into the work of pioneering scientists like Martin Seligman, Ed Diener, Barbara Fredrickson, Sonja Lyubomirsky, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Daniel Gilbert, Robert Emmons, and others. I also learned more about work in social psychology and behavior change, including work by scholars such as Liz Dunn, Mike Norton, Nick Epley, Gabriele Oettingen, and others. The Yale course was my attempt at synthesizing work in positive psychology along with the science of behavior change. My goal was to present these scientific findings in a way that made it clear how this science could be applied in people’s daily lives.
