Can you imagine a life without people? Wherever we are, people play an extremely important part of our life. This course will teach you in a few simple lectures how you can use psychology to understand the people in your everyday life better. Learn about our personality, psychological needs, attitudes, and our psychological problems and how you can use this to understand people better. What you will learn in this course Discover what personality actually is. Learn how to correctly use personality to understand the people around you. The five personality traits we all ought to know. The four psychological needs that drive most of our decisions and behavior. The truth about attitudes and how they secretly influence our behavior. Understand people with psychological disorders and what can help them. In short, you will learn the essential concepts psychologists use to understand people and how to apply them in your everyday life. One of the most enjoyable things when I studied Psychology was applying the knowledge to my everyday life together with my fellow students. Soon we were talking in our own language: about how that guy is totally self-enhancing, how this guy is using personality wrongly, or that teacher is implicitly biased towards women without noticing it. We realized that we were starting to understand the people around us more deeply and that made our lives a lot richer. In this course, I want to share this experience with you in a few short lectures that get straight to the important points. This course is about understanding the people around you in ways you couldn’t before, seeing things that you didn’t see before, and discovering the things that are really driving them. So go ahead and enroll so that you can experience it yourself . Let me add that I want you to be 100% happy with this course. If there is ANYTHING you are not satisfied with you can get 100% of your money back . So why not try it out ? Once you enroll you can start with any lecture and see for yourself what it has in store for you. And you can ask me any psychology question you have.

Policing has always been psychological challenging. On any given shift police officers may encounter a range of psychological challenges including domestic violence, interacting with people experiencing mental health issues, violent crime, even attending the aftermath of horrible accidents. The long exhausting shifts can also result in stressful person interactions within one’s personal life. The presence of COVID and political issues related to instances of over-policing have increased these stresses even more. This course has two goals. First, we want to inform officers how their stress system works and why they sometimes feel as they do. With this as a foundation we then describe some strategies officers can use to manage this system, giving themselves much needed breaks from the stress response and overall empowering them with a greater sense of control over how their bodies react to stress.

The Final Research Project consists of a research study that you will perform in collaboration with fellow learners. Together you will formulate a research hypothesis and design, come up with operationalizations, create manipulation and measurement instruments, collect data, perform statistical analyses and document the results. In this course you will go through the entire research process and will be able to help determine what research question we will investigate and how we design and perform the research. This is an invaluable experience if you want to be able to critically evaluate scientific research in the social and behavioral sciences or design and perform your own studies in the future.

Many innovations deployed to solve social problems never reach their full potential. Sometimes they fail because people resist changing their behavior even when they know they should do things like stop smoking, show up to a job training course, start using solar power, take a daily pill, or wash their hands. Knowledge alone won’t cause them to make the switch. There are other motivations, other drivers, and other factors about how their environments are set up that need to be accounted for and potentially redesigned. This is where social science research can inform the work of social entrepreneurs. In this course, Dan Ariely, a professor at Duke University and the author of the New York Times bestseller Predictably Irrational, will help social entrepreneurs apply insights from behavioral economics and psychology to understand how people make decisions. His research shows that when people make small adjustments to their environment or their daily routines, they can generate new use patterns and trigger better decisions that improve health, education, financial wellbeing, environmental preservation and other forms of social good. By drilling down to specific behaviors that your customers need to perform to use your product or service in the intended way, you’ll uncover new opportunities to redesign elements of the experience or motivate people to take required steps. In addition to video tutorials from Dan, you'll also gain access to 4 Behavior Change Design Guides (totaling over 90 pages) that will include step-by-step exercises to apply these principles to your product, along with examples from other social enterprises. Once you start seeing these principles in everyday life, you won’t be able to resist redesigning elements of your own life and business to help you and the people around you.

The Dalai Lama has said that Buddhism and science are deeply compatible and has encouraged Western scholars to critically examine both the meditative practice and Buddhist ideas about the human mind. A number of scientists and philosophers have taken up this challenge. There have been brain scans of meditators and philosophical examinations of Buddhist doctrines. There have even been discussions of Darwin and the Buddha: Do early Buddhist descriptions of the mind, and of the human condition, make particular sense in light of evolutionary psychology? This course will examine how Buddhism is faring under this scrutiny. Are neuroscientists starting to understand how meditation “works”? Would such an understanding validate meditation—or might physical explanations of meditation undermine the spiritual significance attributed to it? And how are some of the basic Buddhist claims about the human mind holding up? We’ll pay special attention to some highly counterintuitive doctrines: that the self doesn’t exist, and that much of perceived reality is in some sense illusory. Do these claims, radical as they sound, make a certain kind of sense in light of modern psychology? And what are the implications of all this for how we should live our lives? Can meditation make us not just happier, but better people? All the features of this course are available for free. It does not offer a certificate upon completion.

This course is based on the principles of William Glasser's Choice Theory. Students  will  be introduced  to a psychology of personal freedom that empowers people to focus on internal locus of control as opposed to the external locus of control  mentality that festers in our society. Students will have an opportunity to reflect on the concepts of the theory and how to apply personal responsibility  to their lives.  Students will leave the course with tangible  cognitive tools  they can use  to combat pessimism, anxiety and depression , improve  self esteem and relationships at home and work one choice at a time.
