Great course that show you different ways to look at happiness -based on scientific research- also does give you great tools that you can start using in your life right away to be happier and more satisfied. It does teach you to be disciplined and be committed. Practice and all is coming.

This course was a perfect addition to my Health and Life Coach Certification program. I was able to apply the science, psychology and behavior aspects of the human brain to my practice and my everyday life. As a result my family noticed my mindset shift and better mood and energy levels.

What an amazing course. I have used some of these tools before taking the class, this just make me make more of a priority of the things that work for me. I am learning to not just be happy but happy with in myself and life. I have a great life and I sometimes let setbacks get in my way.

The course was excellent as it gave me insight into magnifying happiness. It kindled "Gratitude" in me and the same has become a habit now. Thanks to Coursera, the faculty of Yale university and the peers who interacted in discussions forums and also helped me in assessing my assignment.

This course was extremely helpful in so many ways that it makes it hard to describe, but the effects alone were well worth the effort of completing it. I have been more calm, grounded and feel healthier than I have in years. And because of this I want to send you a heartfelt "Thank You."

This course taught me new tools that I can use in daily situations on how to a positive version of myself. It reminded me of tools that I already learned throughout my academic career that I had set aside or forgotten and pushed me to understand the importance of savoring everyday life.

This course was fantastic from start to finish. The lectures were engaging, the material fascinating and the homework was useful! I got a lot out of everything this course offered and have recommended it to so many people as it has made a noticeable change in my life. Highly recommended.

I loved this course! I am working on healing after the death of my husband, and we are in the middle of a pandemic, protests and violent demonstrations. It was a great time to do this! The course did increase my happiness score dramatically. I'm feeling my energy, and joy in my life.

I am in the middle of this course and have already learned so much. The science is fascinating! Thank you so much for this information.

UPDATE: I have just completed this course and, WOW. Everyone needs to take this course just to navigate life a bit easier and with more information!

Es un curso excelente, me ayudó mucho a recordar algunas cosas de la felicidades que ya sabía, pero también me ayudó a aprender nuevas, como la falacia de GI Joe, que saber no es la mitad del camino. Agradezco mucho a la Dr. Lauri Santos por hacer esto posible y lo recomiendo muchísimo.

Amazing course to gain awareness about what happiness/well-being is and what helps to increase it and what actually doesn't help :) The course gave me a whole new perspective on well-being which helped me, my boyfriend, and my mother to boost our overall well-being.

Totally recommended!

Awesome course, it helped me to choose a better job for me, be more open and happy. I can't thank enough Dr. Laurie Santos for putting it together and making available for everyone. I were combining the course with reading "Getting things done" by D. Allen and these two go hand in hand.

This is an amazing course. Something that actually can bring a big and positive change in life. The instructor was amazing and i really wish I could meet her in person and thank her in person some day.Stay blessed All the people who are involved in this course especially our instructor.

Both practical and quickening. The Science of Well-Being begins with clear analyses on how the brain and the culture work against happiness. This is followed with clear guidance for rewiring. By the end of course, a student knows both the theory and practice of well-being and happiness.

I really enjoyed working through this course during the lockdown we had in New Zealand. I learned a lot! And signed up for a meditation course so I can continue to apply what I have learned. Thank you to Prof Laurie Santos and Yale for making this course available free through Coursera.

These courses are essential for al young people to take, I am fifty and wish these kinds of courses existed during my university years. They help you prepare for the future and help you deal with disappointment better. Life should not be taken so seriously, we all need to be happy more.

A fantastic course that did more than I expected - it not only taught me the data-supported science behind how to increase happiness but was also structured to support me to put the strategies into practice. A highly recommended course for anyone willing to invest in their well-being :)

This course was truly blessing in disguise and i'm so glad i clicked on it at first sight. I got a much better understanding of the ideal of happiness, how to attain and maintain it. I highly recommend this class, especially since the world is going through so much right now, Good-luck!

I thoroughly enjoyed taking this course and I learned so much about the misconceptions we have when it comes to what we think makes us happy. In addition, I learned how to use rewirements to actually become a happier person. Great course, thank you for the opportunity to take it online.

Thank you very much for the great lecture !

I learned a lot of new concepts from Dr. Laurie. If I had a wish, I would have liked the opportunity to communicate directly with the teacher. I would like to continue reading the professor's paper.

Thank you very much once again !

Professor Laurie Santos is a professional full of charisma!

The course is so well structured! I'm so happy I subscribed to it.

It's a life time learning. Will take this knowledge with me to help take care of my well being.

Thanks always!

Great course! Really appreciated the explanations and data behind all that was presented. Enjoyed every part of the course, especially the rewirement challenges that kept me engaged and learning ways to improve my physical and mental well-being. Would recommend this course to everyone.

The research-based insights were amazing. If put to practice this course has a real potential to change lives. Everyone should take this course. My sincere gratitude to Coursera, Yale University, and Professor Laurie Santos for creating this course and making it available for everyone.
