Faculty First Year Seminars 197PSE1 - Career and Happiness

Career and happiness sound like mutually exclusive life goals. However, according to David Starr Jordan, founding president of Stanford University, they are inseparable from each other: ?There is no real excellence in all this world which can be separated from right living.?

This class will use the concepts discussed in The 7 Habits and The Analects (by Confucius) to explore career, happiness, stages of personal development, and other related topics.
