Beyond Happiness: Flourishing

Happiness and the pursuit thereof are a constant source of conversation and intrigue. Whether it’s a late-night talk with friends about the meaning of life, a boss trying to find new ways to make for a better work environment, or a country trying to measure the standard of living for its citizens, happiness comes into play.

What makes people happy? How do happy people act and think differently than those who aren’t? Can happiness be measured? And is it felt the same way by everyone?

This open, four-module course utilizes the theories within positive psychology, flourishing, and the mindfulness literature.
