“In this unit we have a wide range of theories from different subject matters. They are just a sample of the thousands of articles/books on the topic of happiness, but many of these have caught on and occupy an important part of humanity’s psyches. The names of this unit are famous and they have impacted not only the 20th century but the 21st century and I’m sure beyond.
They come from different disciplines but they are all concerned with happiness. In the photos above I have included Jennifer Aaker who is one of our theorists for Positive Psychology, which focuses on “the positive.” Whereas much of psychology focuses in on “dysfunction,” positive psychology focuses on the positive: positive experiences, positive individual traits and positive institutions.
Since you have already viewed Groundhog Day and the Pursuit of Happyness, for this unit focus on theorists. Choose one of the main theorists that you feel helps explain BOTH films. And choose a second theory (outside Einstein, King, Chopra, and Tolle) that also throws light on these two films (such as Code of Joy, Regrets of the Dying, Flow Secret of Happiness),
As usual, your main post should be 150 words.”
