Yale’s Most Popular Class Is Now Available Free Online

In the spring of 2018, the Yale psychology professor Laurie Santos unveiled a new course, Psychology and the Good Life. The subject was happiness.

Santos’s course was a blend of abstract and concrete. It combined positive psychology with the real-life applications of behavioral science. It debunked popular notions of what makes people happy (like the luxury Mercedes-Benz status symbol) and helped students understand the habits they should build to lead truly happier, more fulfilled lives.

The course was launched in the U.S. — home to supposedly only the 19th-happiest population in the world, according to the 2019 World Happiness Report — at one of the nation’s most elite and high-pressure colleges.

NYC schools require every AI tool to pass a bias and equity review before deployment

Twenty-nine New York City council members are demanding a two-year halt to AI use in the nation's largest school system, citing student data privacy gaps. Simultaneously, California and other states are tightening AI bias-audit requirements for employers, while educators debate a deeper question: whether AI adopted without guardrails erodes the original human thinking it is meant to support.

  • 01Twenty-nine NYC council members sent a letter on June 9, 2026, calling for a two-year AI moratorium in city schools, citing inadequate student data privacy protections in the Department of Education's drafted guidance.
  • 02California's Civil Rights Council AI regulations, effective Oct. 1, 2025, require employers using automated decision systems to retain related data for four years and face heightened litigation risk if they skip bias audits.
  • 03Educators and practitioners are wrestling with a fundamental design question: whether AI functions as a 'calculator'—executing tasks users already understand—or a 'crane' that extends human capacity into genuinely new territory.
