Course Club: The Science of Well-Being (Coursera)

It’s like a book club, but instead of reading a book together, we’ll be completing a (free) self-paced online course together. AccountabiliBuddies FTW!!!

Join a group of your colleagues to explore the science of happiness and well-being in this wildly popular online course from Yale professor Dr. Laurie Santos. In this communal experience, we will complete the 10 modules of the course over a period of 10 weeks, meeting once per week (on a day / time to be selected by the participants) to discuss our experience and support one another along the way. Live meetings may be enhanced by opportunities for asynchronous participation in discussions / Q&A in Brightspace.

Intro Video: Start a New Journey – The Science of Well-Being by Yale University

Course Description:

In this course you will engage in a series of challenges designed to increase your own happiness and build more productive habits. As preparation for these tasks, Professor Laurie Santos reveals misconceptions about happiness, annoying features of the mind that lead us to think the way we do, and the research that can help us change. You will ultimately be prepared to successfully incorporate a specific wellness activity into your life.

We will begin the course the week of Jan 27th and finish up the week of April 07th.

Sign up for the group, and we’ll determine the best day / time / modality for our weekly discussion / support meetings.
