Harvard's Happiness Course

 Around Harvard, it's known as "the Happiness course," and for years it's been the most popular class on campus. An estimated 1 in 5 students take the Positive Psychology course taught by Tal Ben-Shahar and grounded in authoritative psychological research and empirical evidence, to learn what it takes to "create a fulfilling and flourishing life." Now it's available online. Imagine how much greater the impact if these skills and attitudes are part of the curriculum when kids start elementary school!
