Overview
The Positive Psychology Specialization Project - Design Your Life for Well-being course offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Pennsylvania.
You are encouraged to take the first four courses of the Foundations of Positive Psychology Specialization before starting this course and completing the Specialization Project.
Key facts
