I wonder if the course has varying defenitions for Happiness. I think it can mean different things to different people. Wasn’t it mentioned somewhere about east coast positive psychology versus west coast happiness studies? The former seem to be rather dry and morose, quite honestly. One east coast person mentioned that small things like ice cream are “wrong answers” when it comes to happiness because friends and family are what’s important.
I don’t know about that. When someone’s having a lousy day or people let you down, something small like watching birds or eating ice cream can make all the difference.
