I couldn't have asked for a better class to be offered during this time. Got to learn a lot about myself and why I think or do certain things without even thinking about it. Thank you for this course!

Awesome course. I am in awe that Yale offers this high quality course at no cost to individuals. I told my sister about it. If young people will get this NOW, the suicide and divorce rate would go DOWN!

This course helped me see that the things that we think are going to make us happy actually are not. It provides strategies to help you become a happier person. But ultimately, you have to work for it.

A fascinating and insightful class. What you think will make you happy doesn't lead to long term joy. Take this class to discover what truly makes you happy, and how to be more peaceful, happy and light.

El curso superó mis expectativas, al realizar los ejercicios descubrí aspectos que no había contemplado antes y que parecían muy sencillos, pero requieren un nivel de disposición y trabajo interno alto.
