Coursera courses[non-tech] for lockdown blues

Most of us, when we hear the word ‘coursera’, we immediately think of a course that would help us become better at a particular tech stack.

Well, be that as it may, it is not just that. Coursera offers a variety of courses that help us develop new hobbies, skills and become better individuals.

Given below are a few courses (all of them are free) that I personally found really interesting:

If you want to build your memory muscle, or want to know about psychology or simply want to improve your negotiation skills, then these courses are for you

• Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects
• Social Psychology
• Successful Negotiation: Essential Strategies and Skills

Want to understand what goes on in your body when you feel any discomfort

• Vital Signs: Understanding What the Body Is Telling Us

When you really love your wine or want to learn a new language

• Wine Tasting: Sensory Techniques For Wine Analysis
• First Step Korean

Fan of Greek mythology?

• Greek and Roman Mythology
• The Ancient Greeks

Improving oneself is a continuous process and shouldn’t be limited to the 9–5 job at hand. Developing new hobbies or simply understanding yourself better could lead to a similar path and could help in increasing the happiness quotient in us. And who knows, years down the line, when you reminisce over corona times, you would have a fantastic story to tell about the interesting hobbies/skills you picked up during the lockdown.
