| Description: | It seems that everyone wants to be a "success," that everyone wants to be "happy." But what is success? And what is it that makes people happy? In this class we will explore our own and others' definitions of success (and failure) and consider how our beliefs about happiness converge (or not) with people's lived experiences. We will talk to members of the Wabash community: faculty, staff, and other students; read from a variety of genres (fiction and non-fiction books, philosophical essays, scientific papers, etc.); and write a lot, in the service of summarizing information, analyzing texts, and expressing our own experiences and thoughts. As we work, we will keep an eye on how we can pursue goals that matter, for both ourselves and others, and can create a better way of being in the world, maybe by thinking less about being happy. |
