A multi-cultural survey of recipes for a life of “flourishing,” through satisfaction, well-being, resilience, and accomplishment, as well as critical scholarship on concepts and practices of human flourishing. Students explore perspectives from the sciences and the humanities about what it means to flourish across diverse cultures and contexts, each week covering a specific theme and set of practices that expand self-awareness, enhance social connectivity, and facilitate purpose and passion. Themes include Buddhist environmental activism, and Buddhist protest movements, along with research on the application of Buddhist teachings in healthcare, education, business, and the criminal justice system.
