Yale's massively popular 'happiness' course is available free online.Updated 12:27 PM EDT, Mon March 23, 2020
(CNN)As you're spending more time at home and working to stay sane during the coronavirus pandemic, you might be able to find solace in Yale University's mega-popular "happiness" course, which is available for free online through Coursera.
"We're in a particularly challenging time not just for this health crisis, this physical health crisis, but also a potential mental health crisis as well," course creator Laurie Santos, a Yale psychology professor, told CNN's Christiane Amanpour this week.
The course went online for free about two years ago under the name "The Science of Well Being," according to the Yale Daily News. Anyone can audit the course for free, and $49 lets you complete assignments, submit them for a grade and earn a certificate of completion.

It's something healthy for us to do while we are stuck at home.
I'm having some issues related to a spinal problem, so I am just going to drop this here and go and rest. If anyone responds to this thread, keep it kicked, please.
Thank you!

Coursera is a cool site. I have took a history of rock and roll on the site.
