This specialization is intended for anyone who wants to develop a greater understanding of themselves, learn how to improve their relationships with others, and explore the costs and benefits of working in groups.

The courses in this specialization focus on foundational and practical knowledge about the self, attraction and relationships, and groups. In these courses, you will learn about concepts such as self-esteem and self-control, explore the factors that underlie initial attraction and the formation and dissolution of relationships, and discover how being a member of a group can change your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Practical applications of these concepts include understanding how to improve your self-control, create more satisfying relationships, and protect your groups from the mental and behavioral pitfalls that being in a group can create.  

All together, this specialization will give you important insights that can be applied to many areas of your life.
