I went with Professor Sitt’s “Psychology of Happiness” for this assignment because I’m already enrolled in his psychology 101 class and happen to enjoy is so it made sense to go with it. Professor Sitt is a pretty cool guy himself to begin with, he listens to indie music and never dresses too formal.. but for this lecture he went a step further and accessorized with these silly glasses and a hat.
I went into this lecture with pre-concieved notions of happiness such as how being truly happy only comes when you deserve it. Professor Sitt explained how happiness is actually something you have to work to obtain, the way an artist works on his masterpiece until it’s perfect. I found that to be very interesting. The entire lecture was filled with all these new ideas that I’ve never really took into consideration and gave me an entire new perspective on happiness.
