- Yale University is offering a free course online — The Science of Well-Being — that teaches you how to be happier.
- Professor Laurie Santos taught "Psychology and the Good Life" first in spring 2018 in response to concerning levels of student depression, anxiety, and stress.
- It became the most popular class in Yale's history and garnered national and international media attention.
- To share the class' contents with a wider audience, Santos created a Coursera course. You can audit it entirely for free, or opt for a $49 certificate of completion.
- I enrolled in the class, and I was surprised by how truly helpful it was — it's interesting, but it also feels concrete and useful in everyday life. "
