The Science of Well Being with Laurie Santos by Yale University

A video series on the research

This is a set of videos drawn from a Yale online course on well-being. The series is aimed at anyone asking what psychological science says about happiness, and it sets out research on what tends to make people happier.

What the series offers

• Research-based explanations of what contributes to happiness
• Ideas meant to be put into practice rather than only understood

Who it suits

Viewers who like to start with evidence will find the approach direct. Because the series is drawn from a longer course, the listing offers no written syllabus, so it works best for people comfortable learning from video alone.
