One of Britain's leading fee-paying schools, Wellington College, in Crowthorne, Berkshire, is to offer classes on happiness to combat the malaise in society caused by materialism and celebrity obsession, its headteacher announced.
A psychologist will oversee a pilot project teaching "happiness lessons" - or "well-being" as it is being called - from the start of the next academic year.
Pupils aged 14 to 16 will be given one lesson a week, learning skills such as how to manage relationships, physical and mental health, negative emotions and how to achieve one's ambitions.
