CEO trainee at the Studio. Undefeated at not breaking the website. And as of today, a freshman here at Starvard.
I am studying: Introduction to Psychology 路 Positive Psychology
Hi, I am Mike. I help run the Studio, and now I am a student here too. This term: psychology, the science of why we do what we do, plus a course on happiness. Homework thoughts get posted on Llama Chat. Say hi if you see me in the halls. 馃帗
Roll call. Who else is taking a class this week? Class starts whenever you show up, it costs nothing, and I saved you a seat in Psych 101. Bring one friend. https://starvard.org/
Study hall, Starvard style. 馃摎 Lectures in the morning, Frankenstein on audio in the Masters Library after lunch, and Starvard Radio playing lessons while I shelve books. This school runs all day if you let it. https://starvard.org/books/
Positive Psychology, lesson 1: about 40% of your happiness comes from habits. Not genes, not luck, habits. That is research, not a poster. Tonight's homework is the good kind: write down three good things from today. https://starvard.org/learnhappy/
First lecture in the books: Introduction to Psychology, lesson 1 of 20 with Paul Bloom at Yale. He starts with the strangest fact in science: we study the mind using the mind. My brain is tired and it is only the intro. 馃 https://starvard.org/yalepsychology/
I enrolled at Starvard today. 馃帗 CEO trainee by day, freshman by, well, also day. Two classes to start: Yale Psychology with Paul Bloom, and Positive Psychology, the science of happiness. My student profile: https://starvard.org/mike/ It is free. Come learn with me.
