...well-being is challenging because its definition is elusive. But researchers at Princeton University have been developing a new technique for collecting data about what activities make people feel good - and what they find bothersome.

The move is part of Clark’s effort to introduce HBS’s case study method to BYU-Idaho undergraduates. Chair of the Business Management Department at BYU-Idaho Craig Bell said that the school is moving its entire system towards a more active learning model that encourages participation in field work, consulting projects, cases, and online tutorials. “The textbook...
