Prof. Raj Raghunathan offers life-changing tips that go beyond smartness and success to achieve a life of happiness and fulfillment.

Author of If "You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Happy?", Professor Raghunathan’s research delves into the correlation between career success and what he calls life success.

Most people count happiness as one of their most desired goals—more important than making money, being successful, and skilled. Yet very few devote time and effort to reflect on what it takes to lead a happy and fulfilling life.

Prof. Raghunathan discusses one of the most important reasons why greater wealth, fame, and education do not automatically translate into greater happiness: the “scarcity mindset.” This mindset refers to the perception that the surest way to success is through grasping and hoarding the things that one wants.

Relying on the latest scientific findings, Prof. Raghunathan shows why the opposite of the scarcity mindset—what he calls the “abundance mindset”—is a far more reliable determinant of not just happiness, but also success.

Raghunathan's online course on Coursera titled, "A Life of Happiness and Fulfillment" has over 113,000 students from literally every country in the world and was recently voted the top online course of 2015 by class-central.org.
