Описание:Course Description and Objectives
Whereas much of psychology has examined psychologically maladaptive behaviors and emotions, this course covers emerging scientific theory and research that focus on how ordinary individuals may achieve “the good life.” Topics such as happiness, optimism, flow, positive emotions, positive relationships, talent, savoring and gratitude will be examined. Such topic as religiosity and well-being, optimistic thinking, well-being and health will be discussed. By the end of the course you will know what these terms mean, how they have been researched, and how they apply to your life. This course will provide you with opportunities for considerable personal discovery and growth, if you fully engage in it.
