Psychology and the Good Life: Teaching the Most Popular Class at Yale

Over the span of one week in January 2018, Psyc 157: Psychology and the Good Life, became the most popular course in Yale University’s 300-year history. Laurie Santos, professor of psychology and cognitive science, began developing the course after her work as head of one of Yale’s residential colleges brought the mental health struggles of students on campus into focus.
