500 Days of Summer (Part 1)

Objective
  • Analyze the Haidt's conception of love
  • Evaluate different approaches toward finding fulfillment
Agenda
  • Warm-Up #23: In The Happiness Hypothesis Haidt describes two forms of romantic love - what are they?  Briefly describe the difference between the two.
  • Bonus Course Content!
    • So I accelerated our schedule and cut a few elements along the way, but we've made better time than we expected (and made up a lot of those lost snow days).
    • As a result, in the next few weeks we'll have a chance to do lessons I had cut on account of time and/or extra stuff.
  • 500 Days of Summer
    • This was a candidate for Unit 3: Happiness, that I cut for time.
    • While you watch...
      • Think about Haidt's conceptions of love, and how one knows the difference
      • How ought you find happiness in life? 
        • Love?
        • Career?
        • Something else?
      • How does the issue of attachment - a theme from Buddhism, to Stoicism, to Kierkegaard, play out in the movie between the two main characters?  Does one have a better approach?
