The class, Psyc 157, “Psychology and the Good Life,” is taught by
psychology professor Laurie Santos. Nearly a quarter of all Yale
undergraduates have enrolled in the class in its inaugural year — a
fact that attracted media attention around the globe.

The online course, titled “The Science of Well Being,” features
lectures by Santos on things people think will make them happy but
don’t — and, more importantly, things that do bring lasting life
satisfaction.
Registration is now open. (Free).
