Changed the way I looked at "my happiness" by taking care of myself through productive habits. It helped me create a meditation practice, a journaling practice, and also how better to manage my spending.

This is an excellent course. We really are the drivers of our own happiness. I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning how just a few changes can make a huge difference in your life.

Loved the course layout and material. Delivered in an easy to digest way with points of reference to measure your progress and understanding. I learned a lot and enjoyed the scientific research presented.

it's an amazing course & incredible instructor that makes me know myself better and encourages me to bring new habits in my life :)

it's will be a reference for me & I recommended it already to my friends.

If you take the time to commit to doing the rewirements and the exercises, you will see the results in your attitude, your everyday life, your relationships, your health... Totally worth it!

This is very useful information, well presented, for living a happier life. If you liked the course, try Dr. Santos's podcast (The Happiness Lab), which elaborates on the themes introduced in the course.

Thank you for the opportunity to learn so much we can apply and benefit from the science of well-being. The mindset and behaviors we have addressed will continue to provide improvements for all learners!

This course validated what I have come to know, but offered many great references and techniques. I liked the format and the practical experience to help build healthy habits that foster true happiness.

A great course. Week 6 talks about how to build good habits. for that section i wanted to suggest this great book by Stanford Behavior Scientist BJ Fogg called "Tiny Habits" - https://www.tinyhabits.com/

The course is very scientific and research orientations and teaches us some useful tips about being happy, avoid the trap of miswanting and also how to overcome hedonic adaptation. Liked every bit of it.

I thought it was a very helpful and insightful course. I has helped me learned better ways to find joy and happiness as well as deal with stress and anxiety. I think it'as a course everyone should take.

This course definitely helped me in my daily life. It taught me a lot of important lessons that changed my perspective on life in general and I can't wait to implement those lessons with my son as well.

Really enjoyed this course and believe the content and material added value to my overall well being. Also would say this is one of the best things I did for myself during the unprecedent COVID pandemic!

I think this course came at the right time for me. When a lot of people were thinking what next, this course helped me find my happy. So much more to be said.. simply, I am so glad I took this. Thank you

Awesome course. I am in awe that Yale offers this high quality course at no cost to individuals. I told my sister about it. If young people will get this NOW, the suicide and divorce rate would go DOWN!

This course helped me see that the things that we think are going to make us happy actually are not. It provides strategies to help you become a happier person. But ultimately, you have to work for it.

I really enjoyed studying what psychology has to say about being happy. I have learnt tangible skills that I can implement and work on in the future to improve my well-being and my attitude towards life.

Amazing course. I believe everyone should complete this course. It's simple yet refreshing. You will learn new tools for your personal and professional life. I would 100% recommend this course to anyone.

This course was so much more than I expected. I got deep knowledge and - most important - the motivation boost to really change my habits and live a happier life. Thank you so much for this life present.

A fascinating and insightful class. What you think will make you happy doesn't lead to long term joy. Take this class to discover what truly makes you happy, and how to be more peaceful, happy and light.

I loved this course and all the knowledge I acquired. It's taught me tools I can use forever as well as the understanding of the human brain. I enjoyed Professor Laurie Santos method of teaching as well.

I loved this course! I enjoyed hearing about the research in the lectures and then being able to follow up and read more, when I choose to do so. I also liked the supplemental videos, like the TED talks.

I learned a great deal about the science behind happiness. The best take away from this course is actually being able to do the work and try a change to rewire your habits. I highly recommend the course.
