What are the determinants of a happy and fulfilling life? This is surely one of life’s biggest questions, and a question that has interested many of our ancestors. Buddha famously gave up his kingdom in search of happiness. Several Greek philosophers (from Aristotle to Epicurus and Plato to Socrates) had their own views on what it takes to be happy. And of course, we all have our own theories about happiness too. How valid are our theories? Until recently, if you wished for an answer to this question, you would've been forced to base it on discussions with spiritual leaders. Or, if you were lucky, you could've based it on late-night (and perhaps intoxicant-fueled) conversations with friends and family. Happily, all that has changed now. Over the past decade-and-a-half, scientists have gotten into the act big time. We now have a pretty good idea of what it takes to lead a happy and fulfilling life. This course, based on the award-winning class offered both at the Indian School of Business and at the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin, developed by Prof. Raj Raghunathan (aka "Dr. Happy-smarts") draws content from a variety of fields, including psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral decision theory to offer a tested and practical recipe for leading a life of happiness and fulfillment. Although not mandatory, reading Prof. Raj's forthcoming book, titled If you're so smart, why aren't you happy? can help you review and assimilate the material covered in this book at your leisure. For Coursera learners alone, the hardcover version of the book is available for a deep discount of 50%, plus shipping and handling. You can order the hardcover for 50% off by writing to Aaron at: Aaron@800ceoread.com. Please mention that you are a student of the "coursera happiness course" in your email. The course will feature guest appearances by several well-known thought leaders, including: - Dan Ariely (author of Predictably Irrational and, soon to be released, Irrationally Yours), - Ed Diener (“Dr. Happiness”), - Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (author of Flow), By taking this course, you will discover the answers to questions such as: - Why aren’t the smart-and-the-successful as happy as they could—or should—be - What are the “7 Deadly Happiness Sins” that even the smart and the successful commit?, and - What are the “7 Habits of the Highly Happy” and how can you implement them in your life? By the end of the course, I expect students who have been diligent with the lectures and exercises to not just gain a deeper understanding of the science of happiness, but to also be significantly happier.

幸福和充实的生活的决定因素是什么？这无疑是人生最大的问题之一，也是我们许多祖先感兴趣的问题。佛陀为了寻找幸福而放弃了他的王国。几位希腊哲学家（从亚里士多德到伊壁鸠鲁，从柏拉图到苏格拉底）对什么是幸福有自己的看法。当然，我们也都有自己的幸福理论。我们的理论有多有效？直到最近，如果你希望得到这个问题的答案，你将不得不基于与精神领袖的讨论。或者，如果你幸运的话，你可以将它建立在与朋友和家人的深夜（也许是醉酒的）谈话的基础上。令人高兴的是，现在一切都变了。在过去的 15 年里，科学家们已经投入了大笔时间。我们现在对如何过上幸福和充实的生活有了一个很好的了解。本课程基于印度商学院和德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校 McCombs 商学院提供的获奖课程，由 Raj Raghunathan 教授（又名“Happy-smarts”博士）开发来自多个领域的内容，包括心理学、神经科学和行为决策理论，为过上幸福和充实的生活提供经过验证的实用秘诀。虽然不是强制性的，但请阅读 Raj 教授即将出版的书，标题为 If you're so smart, why not you't happy？可以帮助您在闲暇时复习和吸收本书所涵盖的材料。仅针对 Coursera 学习者，本书的精装版可享受 50% 的大幅折扣，外加运费和手续费。您可以通过写信给 Aaron 来订购精装书，享受 50% 的折扣：Aaron@800ceoread.com。请在邮件中注明您是“coursera 幸福课程”的学生。该课程将邀请几位知名思想领袖客串，包括：- Dan Ariely（《可预见的非理性》的作者，即将出版，《非理性的你》），- Ed Diener（“幸福博士”），- Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi（ Flow 的作者），通过学习本课程，您将发现以下问题的答案： - 为什么聪明和成功的人没有尽可能地快乐——或应该——什么是“7 致命的即使是聪明和成功的人也会犯“幸福罪”？以及 - 什么是“高度幸福者的 7 个习惯”，您如何在生活中实施它们？在课程结束时，我希望那些认真学习讲座和练习的学生不仅对幸福的科学有更深入的了解，而且也会变得更加幸福。
