Loved the practical "rewiring" assignments that helped me with understanding what really makes us happy. Not only this course changed my life perspective but enriched the lives of the people around me

Fabulous course. I learned a lot of does and doesn't make us happy, and learned valuable tools for introducing and integrating new habits into my life that will definitely contribute to my well-being.

Definitely worth doing all the coursework! All of the peer reviews I read mentioned that their happiness was measurably increased with a few simple changes. That happened for me too. Thank you Dr. Santos for making this material accessible!

Although a lot of work if you do all the assignments, this class was excellent. Good instructor, valuable information, good insight into what works based on research that is presented so you aren't just taking their word for it. Good job.

If you really pay attention to the lectures and do your best to implement these practices in your life, then you will probably feel a little bit happier (or at least be able to recognize the things in your life that are making you unhappy).

I’ve learned a lot of useful and surprising info on how to be happier. I’ve grateful to everyone who has helped to do such a course.
And I’m grateful for introducing meditation. I’ve tried it as rewirement and now I’m doing almost every day.

really good and fulfilling. The rewirement exercise is much needed by most of us in this current situation, and seeing thousands of people striving to be more balanced and happy really make this a journey to remember. Thank you Prof Santos!

Excelente curso. Lo recomiendo ampliamente, pues además de tener muchos sustentos teóricos que ayudan a comprender el tema, te lleva a la práctica y eso es lo más importante para aprender a ser feliz, cambiar hábitos en nuestra vida diaria.

This course was amazing, just be mindful you get out of it what you put into it. I enjoyed the measurability of my happiness and I am happy to say both my scores went up and that I am now equipped with the knowledge and tactics to continue.

Wish I would have taken this my senior year in college, because I was so stressed about my exams and this course really puts everything into perspective! I highly recommend looking at all the research that goes into "making" yourself happy.

Awesome! I have learned so much and really enjoyed the course. I particularly enjoyed learning about how sometimes our minds can lead us astray. And the rewirements were (and still are) a brilliant way of adjusting towards healthier habits.

The course provided well-prepared lectures in which science was used to back up the ideas presented. Dr. Santos presented in a conversational style that was engaging and approachable. The pace was appropriate and the goals were achievable.

A great course for anyone looking to create a new mindset for themselves and even those around you. Learn how to alter your behaviour to create a better environment for yourself and your happiness, productivity, relationships, and success.

Great course that helps change mindsets into even better ones. everyone naturally seeks happiness, but not everyone is able to strategize their life towards true happiness. This course is the way to go about strategizing a good well-being.

It was just really great to do. Some of the things I knew (but like it suggests, didnt quite know how to put these skills/habits into practise. The course showed you how and also how to make/incorporate these skills/habits into your life
