Content
Is there a recipe for happiness? Does one size fit all or does everyone have their own recipe? Do you know the recipe for your happiness? Could there be other recipes? At the end of this course students have the answers to these questions. Positive Psychology is not a spectator sport. It is an applied science, which has brought about not only knowledge of happiness and wellbeing but also a lot of interventions and exercises to boost your happiness. In this course students will experience their own Happiness Project in which they try out different exercises for themselves in order to find a personal recipe for happiness. Students will share their experience with the exercises with fellow students. But not only that, they will actually share the things that make them happy.
