“In 2018, 1,200 Yale undergraduates crowded into one of the University’s largest venues, Battell Chapel, ready to listen and learn. But the students sitting in the glow of the chapel’s stained-glass windows, who comprised almost a quarter of Yale’s undergraduate population, were not there for a church service. They were there for the most popular class in Yale’s 316-year history: Psychology and the Good Life – or, as it was more colloquially known, ‘the happiness class.’ Undergraduates attending Yale that year would have been born between 1996 and 2000 …. According to Abigail Shrier, who herself spent time as a student at Yale (and Columbia and Oxford, a veritable bouquet of prestigious universities), Generation Z is ‘the loneliest, most anxious, depressed, pessimistic, helpless, and fearful generation on record.’ And she’s not the only one to say so.” (09/17/24)
