#  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.)](http://www.danielgilbert.com/), the best-selling author of [*Stumbling on Happiness* (Links to an external site.)](https://www.randomhouse.com/kvpa/gilbert/) and host of the award-winning PBS television series [*This Emotional Life* (Links to an external site.)](https://www.amazon.com/This-Emotional-Life/dp/B003E3CMW4) whose [TED talks (Links to an external site.)](https://www.ted.com/speakers/dan_gilbert) 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.
