More about this course
  • This course provides students with depth in a focused topic in psychology, while taking a developmental perspective. To arrive at a working definition of happiness, we review classic philosophical theories that underlie the psychology of happiness. After a brief overview of the history of happiness, we explore developmental foundations for it, and factors that contribute to or detract from it over a lifetime. We review affective forecasting skills that are essential for making better choices, in order to enhance marriage, parenting, and career satisfaction. For complete and current details about this Harvard Extension course, see the description in the DCE Course Search.
