Description

Debt, divorce, and disappointment await the average person with average thoughts. Fortunately, we can achieve happier outcomes by developing a “better than average” understanding of money, relationships, time, and values. Holistic Happiness offers a research-informed journey through the post-school world of free choice—where decisions about dating, careers, investing, and personal identity can shape a lifetime.

Drawing upon evidence from finance, philosophy, psychology, and ethics, Dr. Brian E. A. Maue—author of Life-Altering Choices Graduates Encounter—helps learners think critically about the forces that influence modern happiness. You’ll examine how attraction works, what drives long-term relationship success, how time management connects to purpose, and how your financial goals can align with your personal values.

Each section concludes with reflective journal questions, encouraging you to internalize and apply what you’ve learned. The result is more than knowledge—it’s a personal roadmap toward living intentionally and joyfully.

Whether you’re a recent graduate, a professional reevaluating priorities, or someone seeking meaningful balance, this course provides a clear, conversational, and evidence-based guide for navigating life’s biggest decisions. As one student reflected,  “Reading Dr. Maue’s work is like having a conversation with a wise friend who reminds you that life is not a dress rehearsal—there are no second chances to relive your twenties with a better plan.”

Join the many learners discovering that happiness isn’t found by chance—it’s built through choice.

  • 26-35 year-olds who are seeking additional paths for journeying towards goals in a more harmonious way than they were offered
  • 36-50 year-olds who are looking for a structured, evidence-based conversation on some key priorities each generation encounters
