I recently found an online class on the science of well-being. I just started last week and I am really enjoying it. As many of us struggle with getting started on a more positive outlook in life (especially in early sobriety), I thought I’d share. Maybe some of you want to join in.
The class has been made available for free by the university of yale. The course has 10 chapters on different aspects of well being. It starts with an assessement of your personal happiness and strengths to work with. It provides background information on the science of well being and gives little homework assignments to work on yourself and put the learned things into action.
I think many of the large programs AA/Recovery Dharma etc incorporate similar ideas. While you are getting better at getting better, this might be a little additional aid to propell you forward and get started.
