Greetings Friends!
In a letter titled On the Happy Life, Seneca explains that “everyone wants to live a happy life, but when it comes to discerning what makes life happy, they are in the dark.” In our upcoming course, Happiness & the Meaning of Life, we are tackling a few perennial questions: (1) What is happiness? (2) How does one live a happy life? (3) How should one think about the meaning of life?
Check out the course overview, details, and register below!

The Happiness & the Meaning of Life course explores the writing and philosophy of Aristotle, Seneca, the Buddha, Epicurus, William James, Abraham Maslow, Viktor Frankl, and others.
