Semester A – Introduction to Happiness Studies
October 1, 2018 – April 18, 2019
The course comprises twenty-six one-hour lectures. Each lecture is subdivided into four sessions. Following is a brief description of each lecture, with a series of questions that correspond to each of the four sessions. The purpose of these questions is to open up your mind to the quest you’re about to take, to reinforce learning by reminding you of the main threads in each of the lectures after you’ve watched them, and also to provide you a map that you can refer to later as you search for material you’d like to revisit.
These pre-recorded lectures will be made available on the Monday of each week.
