FS 110 - Purpose, Meaning & Happiness

Is the pursuit of happiness the same as the search for meaning? Do activists who dedicate themselves to a cause consider themselves happy? Are the wealthy happy because they never need to worry about money? Research shows there is more to life than happiness and more to happiness than pleasure alone. We will explore the differences between a meaningful life and a happy one to gain insight into how to live the life you want.
