Teenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside other traditional subjects such as math and languages

“The course isn’t there to make you happy,”Ernst Fritz Schubert，the school principal，warned pupils，“but rather to help you discover the ways to become happy. ”
Cooking a meal together is one of the class exercises. Improving body language under the guidance of two professional actresses is another.
The course is taught for three periods a week. Despite the happy subject. the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter.

“That would be too one―sided for us. We want to show how decent food or exercise can help，too. ”the principal said.
