The Science of Success: What Researchers Know that You Should Know at Coursera Course details
- This engaging course is designed to help you achieve the success that you desire. Drawing on decades of scientific research, you will learn what the most successful people do differently than others, why IQ is not the most significant predictor of success (and can sometimes backfire), and why many commonly held beliefs hold people back from achieving their goals.
- Although this course is based on the science of success, you will learn many practical ideas that you can apply to your own life immediately, particularly in three main areas:
- ? Getting better results at work (and school)
- ? Achieving career success (however you define success)
- ? Enjoying a meaningful, happy, and healthy life
- By the time you finish this course you will know more than most people know about what predicts success in life. One of the most important lessons you?ll learn is that success is earned day-by-day through small wins - small, achievable actions that together can help you achieve your goals sooner and exceed even your own expectations. Therefore, you will have an opportunity to complete a detailed action plan through which you can turn what you learned into specific steps for achieving your most treasured life goals.
