I recommend this course to everybody. It really helped me in thinking different about what makes me happy.

Coursera: I'd like to buy a certificate, but I noticed that it only says, that I finished the course not the content and the time i spent. I would like to see that too, because if I add that to my CV, nobody will know what it is about except the name of the course:-)

This is a great beginner/introductory course into The Science of Well Being. Throughout the course there are many practical and simple strategies discussed at length that can be used to help increase overall happiness and well-being. It is an engaging course and I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone who are looking to live a happier and more meaningful life.

Laurie Santos is engaging and the course is well-designed and extremely helpful. The research and detailed resources are very much appreciated. I would recommend reviewing all the rewirements at the start of the course and choosing some to work through during the whole time.

I definitely appreciate what I've learned and will continue trying to practice what I've learned.

This was a great course, I put honest effort into listing and working on the information given. If you take the time to do these things it truly helps. I can sit back and be in the moment of life and really see how much good I do have and how beautiful things really are. I'm learning to not let my brain trick me! Thanks for offering this, I hope it helps others as well.

This is alife changing course. I confess I have listened to it 3 times. Each time I listen to it I learn more and more. I loved listening to the professor and listening to the student’s questions. The last rewirement was just perfect as we are obliged to commit with the challenge. There is no achievement without implementation, without action. I would recommend it 100%

This course is well designed, provides a rabbit hole of references that I could not resist following and forces to practice the material firsthand, allowing the learner to feel the difference. Not only did I learn a lot, I was able to apply my learning in my coaching sessions with clients right away and experience changes in myself as I was practicing the "rewirements".

Thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was practical, but also contained a good amount of academic robustness to make it very meaningful and informed. It certainly changed my views about happiness, what makes us happy as opposed to what we think makes us happy, and gave me the ammunition to make some evidence-based changes to the way I approach life. Thank you very much!

This was an excellent course! Professor Santos is a thoughtful and engaging speaker. The course had a great structure and balanced the presentation of research, supplemental reading and practical application (the rewirements) very well. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in improving their happiness and being more mindful about their day to day lives.

Me ha aportado mucho y enriquecerá mi trabajo como coach. Totalmente recomendable. Las clases muy amenas, el material muy interesante y abundante. Y pese a que el inglés no es mi lengua materna, gracias a la tecnología he podido realizarlo sin más limitaciones que las de estar continuamente usando un traductor, pero con la satisfacción de que valía la pena el esfuerzo.

This course is really eye-opening, interesting and challenging. This course is well thought and designed for everyone, the way it was presented as well as the strategies and studies included in the lectures are helpful. I encourage everyone to take it for self development. Thank you Dr. Laurie Santos and Coursera for your efforts in making this course available online.

An outstanding Course! It not only changes you from inside but, you start pinpointing what you have missed in life and you start fixing it than and there only. Changing a mindset is not an easy task, but, you can do it by doing this course. I would like to recommend it to each and every person on earth. The beautiful thing about the course is it fits with every stream.

What a great course. Focusing on well-being is so important. I loved the lectures and guest lectures. To review the studies and have them broken down was eye opening. It was so important to be able to apply what we were learning and measure the results after our rewrites. Reviewing what other students had done was really nice to do because we could share together.

This course changed my perspective on happiness. It taught me happiness is more in simple things we take for granted rather than the materialistic achievements. Meditation is now also an added bonus in my life thanks to the rewirement challenge. I want to thank our lecturer Professor Laurie Santos for making this course available online. I enjoyed every minute of it .

Fantastic and enlightening course that is all about how to empower and equip people with tools to achieve wellbeing and happiness. I enjoyed the fact that the course was broken up into small digestible chunks and I found the evidence based approach illuminating. I would thoroughly rate this to anyone looking to seek a better understanding of what really makes us happy.

This course came to my attention when I saw the newspaper headline "Yale's Most Popular Course Ever". I was really sceptical at first but I decided to try it because I sometimes like to try things that lie outside my usual scope, and with this one I really hit the jackpot. It's one of the most interesting classes I have ever taken. I strongly recommend it to everyone.

Excellent, it was very useful, applied to real life, concise, clear, easy to understand and very helpful for personal life. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn with magnificient professors supported by renowned universities and which I would never have been able to access if it were for the generosityand vision of two greats: Coursera and Yale University.

This was a phenomenal class with incredibly eye-opening material. It is not hard (material wise), but the implementation of the behavior changes are not easy. Professor Santos has the class paced out in a very logical way and it is very easy to continue on with the lessons, just out of pure interest in the material! I highly recommend this course to any and everybody.

The course helped me to get a lot more aware of what makes me happy. Its still a challenge to really practice what I learned, but I have it in mind and I come back to practice again and again. The course input is so professional and I tell people a lot about it. Thanks for offering that course!

But I did not yet get a Zertificate, please check this and send me. Thanks.

It enrolled out of curiosity and only to find out a few days later that the new school I am going to be a teacher at encouraged their community to enrol as well :-) It was a great course. I was always looking forward to find out what Laurie Santos would explain and tell us next. She is a great teacher and I really enjoyed just listening to her. I highly recommend it!!

The Science of Well-Being is an especially useful course to me as I was recently named the Pharmacy Residency Mentorship and Wellness Coordinator at the hospital I work at. I took this course hoping to develop the skills to improve my own happiness but also help the pharmacy residents. It was an incredibly thorough course and I am so thankful I found this opportunity.

I am first very hesitant to do the online course because I always think I don't have the time. but during the duration of the course, it made me realize, you make your time, just like any other activity that we have done-You choose to exercise, you choose to meditate, you choose to eat on time and healthy food and you choose to sleep on time. It is ALWAYS UP TO YOU.

I started the course as the pandemic was just beginning. Then our dear 14-year-old dog died, followed by our pet goat and my 28-year-old Arabian gelding who had been with me since he was two. The business I founded and ran since 1994 nearly failed. Through the loss, hardship, and challenge, this course offered tools that helped me cope and recover. I am... Grateful!

This is definitely one of my favourite courses here, on Coursera, and I would even say in life. I loved that it is not about just talking about positive benefits, but about doing things which can have a positive impact on our daily lives. Thank you very much, Professor Laurie Santos, for creating and spreading such an opportunity for students from all over the world!

Learned some really useful and practical strategies on having (and maintaining) the right outlook and mindset. Even if it was a recorded class, the instructor was engaging and her ability to present academic studies in a simple and straightforward manner so that even non-academics could learn and benefit is much appreciated.

Thank you for sharing this course with us!

I'm not exaggerating when I say this, this course is genuinely like a guidebook for how to live a better life. From socializing more, to how to have a good carrer and/or job, to how to make your relationships better, and much much more. Prof. Santos does an excellent job of presenting the data, and every single point is supported by science. Highly highly recommend!
