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

It was fun to learn more about well-being and happiness. The videos each week were great and easy to follow. What I liked the most, were the notes and links for each week (i.e. Ted Talks, pdfs, etc.). Thank you!

If you think you know everything about being happy - you are wrong. Laurie Santos has created an easy to use, engaging, and meaningful resource in this class experience. I would take class after class with her!

This course was quite helpful especially during the current pandemic. It helped reinforce habits I already had and reinforce the need for ones I hadn't quite implemented. I highly recommend this course to all!
