Faculty First Year Seminars 191SBS1 - Experiments in Happiness

What does it mean to be happy? Can we learn techniques to enhance our happiness? This course will explore happiness, from early philosopher?s beliefs to current research on the science of well-being. As we discuss what makes us happy, we will also consider how this can set the stage for resilience and success in college. The class will be very interactive with journal reflection assignments and discussions centered on self-care, growth mindset, goal-setting and personal success.
