I love this course and my instructor. She is warm, adorable, smart, and has an amazing soft voice that I'd love to listen to. This course is well-organized and high-quality as well as it's fun and relaxed to learn. Now I understand why this course has an incredible amount of students and so many positive review. Happy learning!!!

Rich in course content and Dr. Laurie makes the content so inviting and engaging even though they're heavily backed by scientific evidence. I would recommend this to anyone who would want to take the steps for a better over-all well-being! Commit to learning and to the rewirements and it would be an over-all enriching experience!

A very well-done course that is a great blend of theory and practice in order to increase your own personal well-being. Gives you a good challenge and brings you out of comfort zone in an amazing way to see how the things we traditionally want might not be what we should really want and interesting techniques to better ourselves.

This course was really quite helpful to me during the pandemic. I was reminded to check-in and focus my energy on beneficial behaviors for my well-being rather than allowing my mind to wander into dark places and ruminating. I have tools that I have been practicing to keep up the work and know the reasons behind their importance.

Extremely educational, insightful, enlightening and valuable course. Highly recommend it for any and all who are fascinated by positive psychology and want to learn the science of happiness/wellbeing in additional to how to implement strategies and habits to improve your own happiness and wellbeing. Thank you Yale and Dr. Santos!

I completed this course last year and I am still using the lessons that were taught. It has made me more productive as I can clarify what it is that needs to be done in order to feel like I'm moving forward. Thank you again, this course was worthwhile and I recommend to those struggling and who want to move forward with purpose.

This was one of the most helpful classes I have taken as an older adult who is seeking to improve her mindfulness practice and mental well-being. Dr. Santos made all the difference in my having lots of enthusiasm for this 10-week commitment. I don't think I could have stuck with it had she not been so encouraging to us students.

THE BEST GIFT I GOT IN 2020. COURSERA IS A HUGE BENNEFIT TO EVERYONE ESPECIALLY DURING THIS PANDERMIC, IT HAS ENABLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO STAY INFORMED AND ACHIEVED SOME LEARNING DREAMS AND OPPORTUNITIES. MS LAURIE SANTOS WAS SIMPLY AWESOME. SHE MADE THE COURSE EXCITING AND VERY RELATABLE. IT WAS A PLEASURE BEING HER STUDENT.

I have savored every single minute of the course. Happiness - something we all, kids or grown-ups, strive for and so little know about (or we think we know but are so far from really grasping the essence of). I would highly recommend it to everyone - it´s a real eye-opener that will change your life. Treat yourself to this gift!

The structure of this course was amazing in that it facilitated learning and habit formation through a blend of theory and practice. The five guiding questions were perfectly scaffolded and I love that the course included pre- and post-assessments that enabled me to truly see how what I was learning/ practicing affected my life!

This course is probable one of the best courses I have taken in my whole life as a student both in undergraduate and graduate school. Thank you for all the fun and engaging lectures. I didn't expect that it would be this fun to do. This course was my first online course and I sure enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you Prof. Laurie!

It helped me learn a lot of different habits to be happier and enjoy life to the fullest. This great course helped me throughout the Covid-19 pandemic crisis in the world. I appreciate Yale University and Professor Laurie Santos for making this course available. I live in Florida and currently attend Florida Atlantic University.

This course was extremely helpful. It helped me stop and find the things in my life that do make me happy and to recognize some of the obstacles and misconceptions that make people think that they're unhappy. I definitely will take what I've learned and continue to use it in my daily life. I'm very happy that I took this course.

It's really worth it! I would strongly reccommend it to all of those who want to improve themselves, their way of thinking and taking everyday's challenges. Also, to all of those who want to become inside happier, to have less stress. To those who try to become stronger, more gratefull and who welcome kindness in everyday life!

I gained so much insight from doing this course. Professor Laurie Santos does a great job breaking down the syllabus and presenting it in such a way that it is interesting and easily understood. Many years ago when I did Psychology, the research was not there to support these findings. I am happy that I came across this course.

Through this course i learnt a variety of interesting concepts on wellbeing that researchers and psychologist have spent years uncovering but were presented in such an easy and succinct manner. Laurie is an amazing lecturer and her ability to have us reflect on concepts and make them practical was truly what i enjoyed the most.

Great class, Laurie is excellent. Super interesting, approachable and informative, Have already started to use so many techniques, both consciously and not. Highly recommend to this class. If you're on the fence, give it a try. Have learned so much myself and shared a lot with my friends and family. This is truly life changing.

I started the course with high expectations. All of them were fulfilled in excess.

The course is complete, deep, documented and at the same time simple. It shows us that the commitment to achieve well-being is ours. It is a good personal challenge in these complex times. Thank you Laurie Santos and the team at Yale University.

I love this course! and I love it more that I choose this first before the other courses. it gives me a good sense of self-esteem and a strong foundation for my hectic sched now. Most of their advises I'll keep it in my mind. Thank you Ms. Laurie for making this course possible. I've become a happier person than I was before.

This course is really had changed a lot of concepts in my mind...We need to think again about what is Well-being and Happiness to us...Just join and discover how you can happy and content with your life and do all that is required to pass this course.. then, you'll discover you can be happy, no matter what life you are living.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and have seen the positive benefits in my life! It was hard to stick to at first and I had a break in between but since the course allowed me to re-set my deadlines I never felt guilty or bad about being behind. I now want to purchase the certificate as I feel really proud of my accomplishment.

Besides having excellent information, the course is laid our for practical application and putting to use tips and recommendations immediately . Building that part into the course makes it especially meaningful. Doing the assignments causes the information to be remembered, but more importantly the beginning of healthy habits.

Great course. It changes your mindset on what happiness is all about. Attributes like kindness, gratitude, social connections etc all contribute to your well-being and increases the happiness index. This stay-at-home opportunity has certainly helped me learn a new skill and would recommend this course to my friends and family.

A great course which should be mandatory for everyone, a wonderful experience that made me sit back & really reflect on how I was living my life & what really & truly makes us happy isn't what we might think. I highly recommend doing this course if you want to improve your growth mindset 7 appreciate what matters most in life!

Brilliant course! I would totally recommend this to everyone. It was fascinating to learn about the science behind well-being in a very accessible way and to discover the strategies we can adopt in our daily lives to feel better and happier. Thank you Laurie and Yale University for making this course available online for free.
