Happiness, Well-being and Sustainability:
A Course in Systems Change

Happiness, Well-being and Sustainability: A Course in Systems Change is the first course book that bridges the gap between personal happiness and systems change, bringing together the concepts of positive psychology, sustainability and the happiness movement with approachable and actionable lessons. The aim of the course book is to provide a roadmap and guide for students to increase their literacy, knowledge, and skills about the connection between a sense of well-being and sustainable social change. This course book is a comprehensive guide for students and their teachers for improving individual happiness and engaging in social activism for the happiness, well-being and sustainability of our systems. The coursebook engages students in systems thinking and social activism.  The emphasis throughout is to increase literacy, knowledge, and skills related to these subjects. The plan contains seven chapters, each with tutorial discussions to explain, in approachable and accessible language, the topic and concepts involved within the context of systems thinking, followed by stimulating questions for students, ideas for group discussion and additional research, and an extensive list of references. Within the context of systems thinking, topics covered are personal happiness skill development, personal and societal values, organizations, indicators and measurements, human needs, sustainability and policy.
