PSYC 340 Happiness
Across and within disciplines there have been many diverse hypotheses about what people need to do to thrive, to feel a sense of well-being, and to be happy. In this course, these diverse ideas will be explored in depth and examined through the lens of positive psychology in order to understand which hypotheses have empirical support. Students will be asked to take what they learn through the readings and presentations and do two things: (1) deeply engage in reflections and discussions about these ideas and (2) put them into practice.
