The Science of Happiness

Happiness not only makes us feel good about ourselves but also affects our lives in many ways. The science of happiness course explains what makes human beings flourish and why we feel stressed and unhappy. Dealing with constant stress and struggling with unpleasant memories can pose barriers to happiness. The human brain processes emotions and experiences in a certain way, and our perceptions of experiences can affect our ability to be happy.

The course explains the fundamental psychology that underlies happiness and describes techniques that can sustain long-term contentment. While some part of happiness is genetically determined, we can improve our happiness levels through personal control.
