This might not be well-founded at all, and it might well (and could even likely) be the case that higher levels of happiness lead to clearer thinking.
I suppose I was thinking about a bit of a dichotonomy between analytical, focussed attention and expansive awareness (while I appreciate that this is an oversimplication, something like the distinction between ‘left-brain thinking’ and ‘right-brain thinking’). My understanding is that″left-brain thinking’ can contribute to anxiety and cause one to be overly critical of oneself, but can also facilitate critical thinking regarding whether e.g. a cause area which seems noble is relatively more important. ‘Right-brain thinking’ might facilitate greater creativity and imagination (for which this course would, I imagine, be helpful), but may lead one to be less analytically rigorous.
