The class of happiness in Yale, officially called Psychology 157: Psychology and good life, is one of the most popular classes held in the 320 years of university history.
The solo course is dictated in person one week, during the semester of 2018, as a series of conferences for 1200 people in the largest campus space.
In March of this year, a free version of 10 semesters will be available to the public in general during Coursera with the title “La ciencia del bienestar” and will also be popular instantly and attract the attention of cybernetic students. But when the results of these years are announced, in March 2020, the number of students enrolled will disappear. At the time, more than 3.3 million people were registered, according to the web site.
“We will increase the number of people who teach the class,” said Laurie Santos, a professor of psychology at Yale and director of Silliman College, at the University, about the popularity of the course during the pandemic.
“Everyone knows what they have to do to protect their physical health: wash their hands, maintain a safe distance and use cubrebocas”, added. “People do not know what to do to protect their mental health.”
The Coursera study plan, adapted from what Santos uses for his classes in Yale, helps the students, among other things, that he has a register of his employers, living a gratuity diary, realizing allied acts of bondage and tomen note if with the time these behaviors are correlated with a positive change in his humor in general.
Gretchen McIntire, 34 years old, is a Massachusetts domiciled health care provider studying psychology through an online program at the University of Southern New Hampshire. In his free time during the confinement in August, McIntire took over the class. Dijo que le “cambió la vida”.
The practical aspect of the Coursera study plan is the attraction at McIntire, which for 23 years has been affected by Asperger’s syndrome. It was always nocturnal and I had many difficulties sleeping and adjusting my schedules.
“Sometimes it is difficult to impress these limits and say: ‘If this book is very emotional, you can hope for it, sleep and be more important'”, dijo. “So is discipline, right? But there is no such thing as this way: ‘Thou shalt do thy mercy, it is not only that it be good for thee; de verdad te va a hacer más feliz ‘”.
Dijo that the result útil practice meditation a diary, and that he has been following including after terminating the class. Meditation also helps to help social speeches.
“Ek found mirando hacia el interior. I helped to be more introspective ”, dijo. “Sincerely, fue lo mejor que hice”. (I would like to download your social applications, including Facebook Messenger, and get instant help).
Tracy Morgan, Supervisor of Programming at the Bob Snodgrass Recreation Complex in High River, Alberta, Canada, enrolled in the class in June while taking care of his marriage and marriage.
“There is no reason why he should not be happy,” he said. “I have a marvelous matrimony. I have two children. I have a good job and a nice house. Pero nunca lograba encontrar la felicidad ”.
Since leaving the course, Morgan, 52 years old, has compromised to do three things all days: do yoga for a while, get ready to go free and import some free holidays in Alberta and write three and a half in his diary of gratuity antes of ir a dormir.
“When trying to write down those things at the end of the day, just think about them in those moments, but when the wolves are part of your routine, try to think about them throughout the day,” he said.
In addition, some student studies will find reasons to feel free to increase it in general.
Ewa Szypula, 37 years old, Chair of Francophone Studies at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, said she has been interested in automotive techniques since her doctoral studies. “At any moment of the second or third year, there is a lack of taste and the need for strategies to get rid of it”, verklarning.
A little study of the Santos course that the impression is given by a survey of 632 stadiums in which the participants debanked what serious series if they pay five dollars for hostels in the same way they compare themselves to the host. In the studio, the people predict that more happy series will be able to deal with the diner. For the participants report in a consistent manner that host the diner in some ways the most satisfied mayor.
Szypula tuvo la oportunidad de combiner esta sabiduría recién adquirida con un practice experiment que llevó a cabo en el compléños de su hermana. To lodge with a costly garment that has been bought, it is said to her husband.
“I feel like congratulations on my month”, he said.
Not all students who took the course made a transformer change. Matt Nadel, of 21 years of age and alumnus of the Yale Career, will establish among the 1,200 students who will attend the presidency in 2018. Dijo, the cost of working will meet the requirements of Yale when he entered the university October 2017.
“It’s stressed and I’m well tired of it,” he said.
Nadel says that he feels deceived by the fact that the class is conducting a summary of the good advice for those who have an abuella. Duerme bien, toma agua, haz lo mejor que puedas.
“I think sleeping is good. I hope that for the sake of happiness there are many miscalculations that are not important, that I do not have a person who is happier and better if I have good notes ”, dijo. “Did the class impact my life in a tangible way or large place? The answer is no ”.
If the class is not a transformer for it, Nadel says that now is more expressive when it comes to gratitude. “Lo cual es genial”, opinion. “Pero eso es todo”.
Kezie Nwachukwu, 22 years old, also won the class at Yale. On the other hand, the revolutionary parish, according to God, has already found something valuable in the program.
Nwachukwu, who identifies as a Christian, says that the most significant thing about learning is about the importance of the fairy and the community for happiness.
“I believe I have difficulties in reconciling with my religion and interrogating in intellectual terms,” he said. “I also want to recognize that I simply like being with this community that creates that I convert to the person I am.”
Transformer? No. Pero comment that without hesitation he felt more positive respect for his life.
“The class helped me to be more secure and to be comfortable with my pre-existing religious beliefs,” said Nwachukwu.
Another lesson is that the seriousness lies in the value of negative visualization. Consist of thinking of good algae in your life (as well as reasonably and reasonably reasonable apartment) and imagine imagining the possible scenario (finding repentance without hogar and without redundancy). If the gratitude is something that does not surge in natural form, the negative visualization can help to conjure up.
“It’s something I’m very present about, even though it’s my mind that I’m so caught up in thinking about future obstacles,” Dwarf Nwachukwu. ‘Deberia is very much appreciated for everything it does. Because one is not happy to give up on these things ”.
