This course helped me think of news ways to think and new ways to reach certain goals that I would have not thought about. It's kind of long but I was interested and completed the course feeling good.

This course is quite interesting, helped me to have better understanding of the well-being meaning. Is not banal the pshycologic investigation about well-being feeling, the knowledge of these concepts really support the pursuing of the deep meaning of well-being life and how we can reach it.

This was a great course. It was well paced and very practical. The practical aspect gave me the opportunity to put what was taught into practice in my everyday life. Thereby enabling me to focus on the challenges it entails and finding ways to circumvent those challenges to be successful.

This 10 week course was well worth it. Dr. Santos gives not only thorough tips on increasing your well-being, but also scientific data to back it. I will recommend this to all of my friends, even if they are not particularly unhappy. This is a course that everybody can benefit and learn from!

I found the course very interesting, especially in that it helped me to ask my own questions around 'what makes me happy' and identifying key motivators. It also showed me that by changing small aspects of my life, I could create better habits and more positives ways to look at situations.

Una interesante y creativa introducción al "desarrollo personal" pero desde otra perspectiva. En este caso se aborda el tema de los hábitos del bienestar visto desde los beneficios científicos, además de proporcionar estrategias prácticas para comenzar a implementar estos hábitos saludables.

Excellent overview of the Science behind Positive Psychology, providing good context, explaining why to do certain things, rather than just stating them. For a scientist, this makes it so much easier to give everything a go. The course has been interesting and effective - highly recommended.

If you're tired of all the toxic positivity and quack advices, try this course backed by hard psychological science and peer-reviewed studies. As in all things, it will require your personal commitment but even a 25 minute commitment to the rewirement each day will make you feel much better.

Rather than writing tests, this unusual course asked you to apply the science to make changes to your own life in real time. In a way, this was harder than many course. The material wasn't just an academic exercise anymore. It was real life. I highly recommend it as a learning experience.

I loved this Class! I have tried to savor things in my life, not knowing that it would increase my overall happiness. I will continue to inform my Friends and Family just how beneficial it can be for your health and welfare to exercise, meditate and concentrate on your signature strengths.

My first Coursera course just set the bar really high for any that follow. Professor Santos was a knowledgeable and compelling instructor, and I feel so much better equipped with the science and data behind some concepts that I instinctively knew were true, but could not always pinpoint why.
