Korshub's take

Happiness and career success are not opposites competing for your time. Research shows the reverse: happiness leads to success. One longitudinal study found the top 20% of happiest workers earned 32% more than the least happy 20%.

This 4-week course, taught by Raj Raghunathan and Marshall Goldsmith (the latter a world-renowned CEO coach), cuts through intuition to evidence. You'll examine five core determinants of workplace happiness, identify what blocks your own fulfillment, and practice concrete techniques to raise both your happiness and your colleagues'.

The payoff is dual. You'll feel better in your work and perform better—clearer thinking, better collaboration, greater resilience under pressure. Whether you're burned out, seeking a fresh perspective, or helping your team, this course ties wellbeing to measurable professional outcomes.

About this course

How is career success related to happiness and vice versa? Most of us believe that career success leads to happiness. In fact, however, scientific evidence suggests that the reverse is even more true: happiness leads to career success. For example, one study found that the top 20% of the happiest people earned 32% more salary than least happy 20%.

In this short 4-week course, co-taught by award winning professors Raj Raghunathan (author of ‘If you’re so smart, why aren’t you happy?’, and instructor for one of ‘Top 50 MOOCs of all-time’) and Marshall Goldsmith (world-famous CEO coach and author of ‘What got you here won’t get you there’), you will learn about 5 main topics:

a. Why does happiness at work matter?

b. What are the 5 most important determinants of happiness at work?

c. What is holding me back from feeling happy and fulfilled at work?

d. What can I do to enhance my own happiness levels at work?

e. What can I do to enhance the happiness of my coworkers?

In addition to learning about these topics, your happiness levels will improve significantly and, in the process, you’ll be on your way to a more meaningful and successful career.
