A Short History Of Happiness (Joseph Givvin)

ID : 5385   
« back to classes page
What is the one thing we all want?  Happiness, the good life, fulfillment. The names may differ but all of us are seeking the greatest good of life. Can we find it in this world?   Can the serial killer and the saint be said to be pursuing the same happiness?  Alternatively, could some paths to happiness be better than others?  And if so, how do we find them? For centuries, prophets and philosophers have tried to answer these questions. Today scientists and all of us wrestle with these questions. We will explore some of the diverse historical perspectives to see if any of them offer you insights into your own happiness and the happiness of others.
