FYS 1107 - Science of Success

Credits: 4
Almost every week new books are published on the topic of success and authors offer their advice on ways of achieving success. This science of achievement and success -lets call it successology- has its theoreticians, practitioners, schools of thoughts, and disciples. As in any other disciplines, this science comes with manuals and workbooks. In this course students will explore the topic of success and achievement as an academic field. They will read and reflect on what great achievers say about success and test some of the tools used in workshops organized by corporations.
