About the Course

A recent survey found that 37% of teens say they have poor mental health. This 6-week course aims to curb this mental health crisis by bringing together the best insights from Dr. Laurie Santos’ popular Yale course Psychology and the Good Life. In this course, you will explore what the field of psychology teaches us about how to be happier, how to feel less stressed, and how to thrive in high school and beyond. The lessons along with short weekly ‘happiness homework’ assignments will ultimately prepare you to put these scientific findings into practice. The ultimate goal is for you to feel better and build healthier habits. Parents, teachers, and other professionals supporting teenagers may also find the course beneficial. Note: This course does not confer Yale University grade, credit or student status. THE SCIENCE OF WELL-BEING FOR TEENS WAS PRODUCED IN PART DUE TO THE GENEROUS FUNDING OF THE ARTHUR M. BLANK FAMILY FOUNDATION AND THE JOHN TEMPLETON FOUNDATION....

Laurie Santos is a great Professor. I liked her teaching style and I learnt a lot about how to deal with teens as well as learning about the Science of well being I learnt so much from this course.

Para lo básico, sencillo, y sobre todo, muy corto que está (para mí, que soy un estudioso meticuloso), no se le puede pedir más; más aún teniendo en cuenta que está destinado a personas con 0 conocimientos en psicología. Pero igual, los tres adjetivos del principio son sus pecados comprensibles. Si quieres un curso de verdad y completo (tal como un libro de las mejores fuentes con 200-500 páginas), esto DEFINITIVAMENTE no es la opción.

Super neurotypical with a handful of breadcrumbs. I'm a parent of a teen and also an educator, and I was really not impressed. It's presented as if her way is the only way and that's just simply not the way the world works. Whatever makes her happy, I guess?
