    Dear Colleagues,


    Do you know any courses on personal development taught in the MBA program or any other management degree program?


    I am looking for courses in the broad area of "personal development","managing yourself", "happiness", "how to live". In a nutshell, an academic alternative to the life coaching industry.


    I am particularly interested in courses that:

    1. Target managers.
    2. Use management and strategy concepts applied to your life.

     

    I would like to collect the name of the course and, ideally, the syllabus.

    I list some of the courses I know below:

    1. Designing your life – Stanford by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans (based of the homonymous book - http://lifedesignlab.stanford.edu/)
    2. Strategize Your Life with Simple Rules – IESEG by me :) Marco Clemente (https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmarcoclemente )
    3. Designer in Society – Stanford by Bernie Roth (base of the book "The Achievement Habit" http://achievementhabit.com/ )
    4. The Art of Self-Coaching – Stanford by Ed Batista https://www.edbatista.com/the-art-of-self-coaching-public-course.html
    5. Interpersonal Dynamics (aka Touchy Feely) – Stanford by Ed Batista https://www.edbatista.com/interpersonal-dynamics.html
    6. How to measure your life – Harvard by Clayton Christensen (not a full course, but he integrated it in the last session of his strategy course)
    7. The Science of Well-Being Yale/Coursera by Laurie Santos (https://www.coursera.org/learn/the-science-of-well-being )
    8. Creativity and Personal Mastery – previously given in Columbia University by Srikumar S. Rao (https://theraoinstitute.com/)

    Please write to me (m.clemente@ieseg.fr) if you know any.

    Thank you!
