About this course

Drawing primarily on empirical work, this graduate seminar will explore psychological perspectives on the Good Life. What does it mean to live a fulfilling life? And what decisions can we make on a daily basis that allow us to live lives that have meaning? This course is discussion-based and reading/writing intensive. There will also be some practical assignments that vary on a week-to-week basis (e.g., journaling, tasks around habit formation, reflection pieces). Students will have a chance to develop their own empirical approaches to the Good Life and will lead class discussions and activities.
