In Search of Happiness: The
Most Sought-After Human Emotion
6 sessions, 12 hours
Aristotle purposed that everything we do in life stems from our
motivation to attain happiness. The Dalai Lama believed that
happiness is contingent upon our actions toward others and how
we live our life on a day-to-day basis. Psychologists have studied this
state of being for centuries, only to conclude that happiness ranks as
one of our most sought-after goals. In this course, we will examine the
multi-faceted aspects of happiness including the need for sadness in
our lives.

Seven Brief Lessons on Physics
7 sessions, 14 hours
Based on Carlo Rovelli’s book,
Seven Brief Lessons on Physics
, this course
will introduce you to single physics concepts one concept at a time.
Relativity and quantum mechanics are just two of the seven areas we
will examine. Explore what man is and how we fit into the Universe.
We will use the book in a chapter by chapter manner to kindle
discussion. Rovelli writes in a style strongly reminiscent of Carl Sagan.
No equations or formulas; simply an easy to understand narrative that
presents complex issues on an intuitive and personable level.
