We all want to be happy, don’t we? But then again, it’s better to be a miserable Socrates than a happy pig… so maybe more than being happy, we want to live a fulfilled and meaningful life? Many self-help books, TED talks, courses, podcasts, retreats and spiritual paths try to help us live life well.

This semester we will explore what Christianity has to say about happiness, meaning and significance. Where are they found? How can we survive the sufferings and disapointments of life? What part does religious faith and hope play in all of this?
