This course is an introduction to the science of happiness and fulfillment. Through class readings and discussions, students are introduced to the contemporary field of happiness studies as well as to the historical and philosophical perspectives on which it rests. The knowledge, skills, and insights gained in this course will help students personally as well as professionally as they navigate towards a meaning-based goal-directed life.牋
