PSY 1: Introduction to Psychological Science

One of Harvard's iconic survey courses for more than 20 years, Introduction to Psychological Science is an owner's manual for the human mind. Covering topics such as memory, consciousness, sleep, dreams, language, racism, sex, violence, and more, the course is led by Professor Daniel Gilbert (Links to an external site.), the best-selling author of Stumbling on Happiness (Links to an external site.) and host of the award-winning PBS television series This Emotional Life (Links to an external site.) whose TED talks (Links to an external site.) have been viewed more than 30 million times.

PSY 1 has been thoroughly re-imagined for 2020 and optimized for online learning. Lectures are offline, and online meetings involve interacting with Professor Gilbert, your Teaching Fellow, and each other. Once each week, a celebrity author will join us to discuss their best-selling book.
