Absolutely amazing course with a large dose of science and practical exercises. The instructor is very knowledgeable. It was a pleasure for me to attend the course and listen to Laurie every week. :)

Loved the course. Filled with so many eye-opening nuggets as to what actually does (or doesn't) make us happier. Would recommend this to anyone wishing to learn more about the science of well-being.

I found the course content to be interesting and very well organized. I often find myself thinking about the ideas presented and how to apply them to my daily life. Dr.Laurie Santos did a great job!
