News flash–adult life is filled with unhappiness traps and the search for keys to happiness (or even a good happiness hack to help us get by). It turns out young-adult life isn’t much different. An incredible one in four students at Yale–1,200 students–take Laurie Santos’s Psych 157, “Psychology and the Good Life.” It’s the single largest class in Yale’s history, a class that requires a whopping 24 teaching fellows to administer, that had to move to a symphony hall to accommodate the class size, and that tanks registration for any course in its time slot. (As a result, the class won’t be taught in that format again, instead moving to an online video course format.)
