I've asked that question of my students for years, and most of them say, no.

我問過好幾屆我的學生這個問題，他們大多都回答：「不會」。

Most of them wanna find true happiness on their own in a genuine way.

But how do you do that?

That's where science comes in.

For the past decade, researchers have been developing a road map for the pursuit of happiness, suggesting, for instance, that roughly 40% of our happiness is determined not by our genes, but by our daily activities.

過去十幾年間，研究員就一直在開拓追求快樂的道路，舉例來說，他們提到約有 40 %的快樂並非受我們的基因左右，而是受我們日常活動影響。

"The Science of Happiness" is the first MOOC to teach this research, with presentations from some of the world's top experts on the subject, like Sonja Lyubomirsky, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Paul Ekman and Barbara Frederickson.

「快樂科學」是第一個教授這種研究的大規模開放線上課堂，這個課程夥同了在這個領域的世界頂尖專家一同合作，例如 Sonja Lyubomirsky、Jon Kabat-Zinn、Paul Ekman 和 Barbara Frederickson。

They'll join us in covering topics like mindfulness, compassion and gratitude.

他們教導的主題包括善念、同情心和感恩。

Together we'll tour this field that some call "positive psychology".

我們將一同帶領你了解俗稱的「正向心理學」。

We'll explore why writing down things you're grateful for can strengthen your immune system and improve your sleep, and meditation can actually change you brain for the better, and why spending money on others is actually better for your happiness than spending on yourself.

我們將探索為何紀錄你所感謝的事會增強你的免疫力，提升睡眠品質、冥想如何改善你的大腦，和為何施比受更有福。

Along the way, we'll devote special attention to the links between happiness and human connection, kindness, a commitment to something greater than yourself.

在這個過程中，我們將致力於研究快樂與人際、善意和對一個比自己大的群體的奉獻的關聯。

But we're going to do more than tell you about the science of happiness,we're going to help you experience it firsthand.

不過，我們不只是要告訴你快樂科學，我們更要幫助你搶先體驗快樂。

Each week, you'll try out research-tested methods for boosting happiness and strengthening your meaningful connection to others.

每周，你會試著用我們研究測試過的方法來增加你的愉悅感、加強你有意義的人際關係。

You'll be able to track your progress over time and discuss it all with your classmates.

而你也能夠追蹤你過去以來的歷程紀錄，和你的同學討論。
