Yale University is one of the oldest and most respected institutions for 316 years and the most popular class is the one on happiness.
1,000 students registered for the class in order to invest educational hours into emotional well being.
Due to the popularity of the course on mental health, Yale elected to teach the class online free of cost to anyone who is interested. The class is 6 weeks in length entitled, The Science of Well-Being.
The class description says: “The purpose of the course is to not only learn what psychological research says about what makes us happy but also to put those strategies into practice. The first half of the course reveals misconceptions we have about happiness and the annoying features of the mind that lead us to think the way we do. The second half of the course focuses on activities that have been proven to increase happiness along with strategies to build better habits.”
“The hope is that this isn’t gonna be an ordinary class or lecture series,” Santos says in the introduction video. “This is the kind of thing that we hope will change your life in a real way.”
