Psychology 110 - FYSem:Sex, Drugs, Psychopaths

'Why do some people push themselves further than what seems humanly possible, while others stop short? Why is something just a hobby for one person, and a complete identity or life's work for another? In this course, we will explore people who run 100 marathons, both literally and metaphorically, including athletes, business leaders, and educational reformers. We will examine case studies of incredible stamina, persistence, and leadership, using a variety of analytic perspectives, including psychological, spiritual, contextual, and physical.'

This course is limited to first-year students.
