The structure of this course was amazing in that it facilitated learning and habit formation through a blend of theory and practice. The five guiding questions were perfectly scaffolded and I love that the course included pre- and post-assessments that enabled me to truly see how what I was learning/ practicing affected my life!

This course is probable one of the best courses I have taken in my whole life as a student both in undergraduate and graduate school. Thank you for all the fun and engaging lectures. I didn't expect that it would be this fun to do. This course was my first online course and I sure enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you Prof. Laurie!

It helped me learn a lot of different habits to be happier and enjoy life to the fullest. This great course helped me throughout the Covid-19 pandemic crisis in the world. I appreciate Yale University and Professor Laurie Santos for making this course available. I live in Florida and currently attend Florida Atlantic University.

This course was extremely helpful. It helped me stop and find the things in my life that do make me happy and to recognize some of the obstacles and misconceptions that make people think that they're unhappy. I definitely will take what I've learned and continue to use it in my daily life. I'm very happy that I took this course.

It's really worth it! I would strongly reccommend it to all of those who want to improve themselves, their way of thinking and taking everyday's challenges. Also, to all of those who want to become inside happier, to have less stress. To those who try to become stronger, more gratefull and who welcome kindness in everyday life!

I gained so much insight from doing this course. Professor Laurie Santos does a great job breaking down the syllabus and presenting it in such a way that it is interesting and easily understood. Many years ago when I did Psychology, the research was not there to support these findings. I am happy that I came across this course.

Through this course i learnt a variety of interesting concepts on wellbeing that researchers and psychologist have spent years uncovering but were presented in such an easy and succinct manner. Laurie is an amazing lecturer and her ability to have us reflect on concepts and make them practical was truly what i enjoyed the most.

Great class, Laurie is excellent. Super interesting, approachable and informative, Have already started to use so many techniques, both consciously and not. Highly recommend to this class. If you're on the fence, give it a try. Have learned so much myself and shared a lot with my friends and family. This is truly life changing.

I started the course with high expectations. All of them were fulfilled in excess.

The course is complete, deep, documented and at the same time simple. It shows us that the commitment to achieve well-being is ours. It is a good personal challenge in these complex times. Thank you Laurie Santos and the team at Yale University.

I love this course! and I love it more that I choose this first before the other courses. it gives me a good sense of self-esteem and a strong foundation for my hectic sched now. Most of their advises I'll keep it in my mind. Thank you Ms. Laurie for making this course possible. I've become a happier person than I was before.

This course is really had changed a lot of concepts in my mind...We need to think again about what is Well-being and Happiness to us...Just join and discover how you can happy and content with your life and do all that is required to pass this course.. then, you'll discover you can be happy, no matter what life you are living.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and have seen the positive benefits in my life! It was hard to stick to at first and I had a break in between but since the course allowed me to re-set my deadlines I never felt guilty or bad about being behind. I now want to purchase the certificate as I feel really proud of my accomplishment.

Besides having excellent information, the course is laid our for practical application and putting to use tips and recommendations immediately . Building that part into the course makes it especially meaningful. Doing the assignments causes the information to be remembered, but more importantly the beginning of healthy habits.

Great course. It changes your mindset on what happiness is all about. Attributes like kindness, gratitude, social connections etc all contribute to your well-being and increases the happiness index. This stay-at-home opportunity has certainly helped me learn a new skill and would recommend this course to my friends and family.

A great course which should be mandatory for everyone, a wonderful experience that made me sit back & really reflect on how I was living my life & what really & truly makes us happy isn't what we might think. I highly recommend doing this course if you want to improve your growth mindset 7 appreciate what matters most in life!

Brilliant course! I would totally recommend this to everyone. It was fascinating to learn about the science behind well-being in a very accessible way and to discover the strategies we can adopt in our daily lives to feel better and happier. Thank you Laurie and Yale University for making this course available online for free.

I loved this class. It reminded me of the fact that "things" don't make us happy. It is the experiences it life which we treasure of the years. Looking back I think about so may shared experiences that make me smile. Interesting that when I think of buying things, that doesn't make me smile. Thank you for reminding me of this.

Extremely great course to take. I have recommend some strategies, researches and techniques to some of my personal friends. They have been trying it, and its been working well for them! This has also boosted my happiness scores, and i've finally found my true passion and knowing what i really want in life. Truly life changing.

This course was very insightful. I loved the science behind it. The professor kept the information interesting. I also feel like she was easy to relate to especially as she stated that this is something she was working on too. Thanks Yale. Really appreciated the course. The content taught will benefit us for a life time.

I sincerely enjoyed this class! At first, I didn't believe what was being said (i.e. more money doesn't equal happiness, brand new mansion wouldn't make you happy, etc.), but about halfway thru the course, it all started to make sense. After working on the rewirements and committing myself to them, I was amazed at how much b

If you want to gain some new insights into the Science of Well-Being, then you should take this class because it is very insightful when it comes to exploring new ways at looking at your life, and it will also challenge you with rewirement challenge's to help broaden your outlook on life.

Thank You Professor Santos.............

This course is so nice and interesting! you really understand many psycology things that help your own life when you put it into practice. The teacher explains everything very well and also she invited some creators like book writters and makes the course more interesting! Thank you Laurie Santos and Coursera for this course!

Absolutely perfect! That was the best project I could ever want to join. Thank you Professor Laurie Santos! The classes were all very didactic, and the rewirements very good. Now I'll try to follow all the things I learned, because I know they will help through my whole life. Again, thank you very much! Greetings from Brazil.

Sublime is how I would describe this course. It's definitely on par with Learning How to Learn in terms of quality as a MOOC, and worth taking. Surely, your life won't change magically, but if you stick to what you learn from here, I believe the benefits will compound over time and help you become more content with yourself.

Amazing course! I didn't want it to end which is why I am now overdue as I don't want to say goodbye! The tutor - Laurie Santos - is AMAZING! She explains the topics clearly and in a really approachable and interesting manner. I have recommended this course to friends and family. I cannot speak highly enough of this course :)
