Anthony Seldon and Ian Morris believe that there is no more important task for schools than teaching happiness - or wellbeing as it is more accurately described. Here, they describe how all students at Wellington College experience wellbeing classes. Each lesson starts with two regular features: meditation and 'blessing counting' followed by various elements of the skills of wellbeing. These may only become fully meaningful for students later but should equip them with life skills for the rest of their lives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
