| Description: | Using Failure to Find Your Happy Place Bobby Horton teaches psychology, coaches soccer, and spends any free time he has carting kids to and from swimming pools and soccer fields. Where is your happy place? What is success to you, and how do you work towards it? We all want success, but it is not always clear what success really is, or should be, or what is the best path to get to it. In this class we will explore our own and others' notions of failure and success and the possible link between the two. We will read a variety of texts from multiple different genres - from Shakespeare's plays to contemporary memoirs to scientific articles - that reflect different ideas about failure and success. Among the texts we may consider are Mindset (by Carol Dweck), MacBeth (by Shakespeare), and What Made Maddy Run? (by Kate Fagan), and we will talk to community members, both Wabash folks and those from the Crawfordsville community, about their pursuit of success and their use of failure in its service. And in the end, we may find that, instead of being its opposite, failure is often a critical step towards the success we should most want to achieve. |
