The Science of Well-Being

Challenges, not just lectures

This course is built around a sequence of challenges meant to raise your happiness and build more productive habits. Before the challenges begin, the lessons clear up common misconceptions about happiness and explain the quirks of the mind that lead people to think the way they do.

What you come away with

• A clearer view of the misconceptions that shape how people pursue happiness
• An understanding of the research behind changing habits
• A specific wellness activity chosen to fit into your life

Expect a practical course. It is designed to prepare you to adopt one activity, rather than to survey positive psychology broadly.
