Course Description:
Trying to live a happy life is not about denying negative emotions or pretending to feel joyful all the time. We all encounter adversity and as a result we may feel anger, sadness, frustration and other negative emotions. To suggest otherwise would be to deny part of the human condition. However, happiness does matter! The scientific evidence is compelling. The pursuit of happiness is not some luxury that we can do without; it is about helping people to live better lives and creating a society that is more productive, healthy and cohesive. As Aristotle said: “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” Happiness has also been linked to better decision-making and improved creativity. So, rather than success being the key to happiness, research shows that happiness could in fact be the key to success.
