ON JAN 12, a few days after registration opened at Yale for Psyc 157, Psychology and the Good Life, roughly 300 people had signed up.
WITHIN three days, the figure had more than doubled. After three more days, about 1,200 students or more than one fifth of Yale undergraduates, were enrolled.
The course, taught by Laurie Santos, 42, a psychology professor and the head of one of Yale's residential colleges, tries to teach students how to lead a happier life, more satisfying life in twice-weekly lectures.
''Students want to change, to be happier themselves, and to change the culture here on campus,'' Dr. Santos said in an interview.
''With one in four students at Yale taking it, if we see good habits, things like students showing more gratitude, procrastinating less, increasing social connections, we're actually seeing change in the school's culture.''
Dr. Santos speculated that Yale students are interested in the class because, in high school, they had to make their happiness a lower priority to gain admission to the school, adopting harmful life habits that have led to what she called the-
''The mental health crisis we're seeing at places like Yale.''
A 2013 report by the Yale College Council found that more than half of undergraduates sought mental health care from the university during their time there.
''In reality, a lot of us are anxious, stressed, unhappy, numb,'' said Alannah Maynez,19, a freshman taking the course.
''The fact that a class like this has such a large interest speaks to how tired students are of numbing their emotions - both positive and negative - so they can focus on their work, the next step, the next accomplishment.''
Students have long requested that Yale offer a course on *positive psychology*, according to Woo-Kyoung Ahn, director of undergraduate studies in psychology, who said she was ''blown away'' by Dr. Santos's proposal for the class.
Administrators like Dr Ahn expected significant enrollment for the class, but none anticipated it to be quiet so large.
Psychology and the Good Life, with 1,182 undergraduates currently enrolled, stands as the most popular course in Yale's 316-year history..
The previous record holder -Psychology and the Law- was offered in 1992 and had about 1,050 students, according to Marvin Chun, the Yale College dean.
Most large lectures at Yale don't exceed 600,
Offering such a large class has come with challenges, from assembling lecture halls to hiring 24 teaching fellows.
Because the psychology department lacked the resources to staff it fully, the fellows had to be drawn from places like Yale's School of Public Health and Law school.
And with so many undergraduates enrolled in a single lecture, Yale's hundred of other classes -particularly those that conflict with Dr.Santos's -may have seen decreased enrollment.
At the start of the semester, the class was divided between a live lecture in the 844-seat Battel Chapel, a historic place of worship on campus, converted to a lecture hall, and one or two smaller auditoriums where-
Several hundred more students watched a live-stream of Dr. Santos.
After several weeks, the decision was made to move the lectures to Woolsey Hall, usually the site of events like symphony performances, which can accommodate the entire class.
The Honor and Serving of the latest ''Operational Research'' on Life, Meaning and Happiness continues.
With respectful dedication to the Leaders, Grandparents, Parents, Students, Professors and Teachers of the world. See Ya all ''register'' on !WOW! The World Students Society and Twitter-!E-WOW! -the Ecosystem 2011:
