A 3-credit course on happiness is being offered in Fall 2019, taught by Dr. Chris Martin, a postdoc with a background in sociology and psychology. This course integrates topics from psychology, economics, philosophy, and sociology on happiness and meaning in life.

• Through psychology, you will learn about why sustainably changing your daily happiness level is difficult
• Through sociology, you will learn about how rises and falls in income inequality have affected happiness in America
• Through economics, you will learn about why income only partially predicts one’s happiness level
• Through clinical psychology, you will learn about ways to cope with distress and excessive self-criticism
• Through philosophy, you will learn about how functioning well differs from feeling happy
