Can science help you to be happier? All students this year have the fantastic opportunity to sign up to Professor Bruce Hood’s new course – The Science of Happiness. You’ll explore scientifically-validated strategies for living a more satisfying life and find out what psychological science teaches us about how to be happier, how to feel less stressed, and how to flourish more. You’ll also look at some of the common misconceptions about happiness as well as beliefs about what generates future happiness.
The course lasts for ten weeks and runs on Wednesday afternoons in the Victoria Rooms between 1-2 pm, starting on World Mental Health Day, Wednesday 10th October. It’s ideal if you are looking for an extra-curricular activity for a Wednesday afternoon and should be really rewarding. You can find out more and sign up through Blackboard at https://bristol.ac.uk/science-of-happiness. Don’t worry if you can’t attend this teaching block: we’ll be running the course next term too.
The Science of Happiness course complements the existing Bristol Futures open online course on Sustainable Futures. Don’t forget that this, and the other Bristol Futures courses in Innovation & Enterprise and Global Citizenship, start on 15th October. You can sign up for these courses by going to the Open Courses tab in Blackboard.
