It is interdisciplinary in nature drawing on source materials from positive, cross-cultural, clinical, and health psychology, holistic health, and neuroscience. The course will entail academic, experiential, and interactive learning. It requires students to actively engage in course material through reading, writing, participating in class and home practices, and applying methods for improving well-being in their daily lives.
