Emiliana Simon-Thomas, the science director at the Greater Good Science Center. "Like Em, happiness was really hard won for me.", says Dacher Keltner, Professor of Psychology at UC Berkeley.

I am listening to Dacher's on a video about the content and structure of "The Science of Happiness." And, guess what, some of the conceptual background of the course is indeed interesting, more interesting than I thought when I enrolled...but it's 10 weeks long! As the staff were telepathic or something when I moved to the next video I got this warning: "We estimate that each week should take you roughly two to three hours to complete; however, Week 1 should take slightly more than that because it contains introductory information about the course and must establish the conceptual foundation for the rest of the course."
It's good to have a look in the map. They say 100.000 people enrolled!
