I think it should be taught in every high school. Some students may not go to university,

Also I feel the professor should write a unique kind of book that includes the background of the course (her story), life at Yale and students, the stories of the other resource people, the course itself and journal. to be sold globally,

This course has redefined my outlook on life.I find happiness now in places and people i would have rushed past previously.So glad to have happened on this course,i would highly recommend it for any person in any walk of life . My thanks to Coursera and Steffanie Warriner for her kind comments on my submission.Thanks so much.

I know I will have to circle back every so often to remind myself of the simple things I learned from this course. The timing couldn't have been better for me to take the time to do this. Thank you for breaking the course language down into very simple terms. I would love to offer the course to my high school kids for credit.

I enjoyed the course immensely. It taught me to look at what actually makes a person happy as opposed to what we think will make us happy. The ideas behind WOOP can work in a variety of ways and I believe that this course gave me helpful tools to cope with the stresses of life. Kudos to Dr. Laura Santos for a job well done

This course exceeded my expectations. The tools taught are phenomenal and should be learned by all human beings. This class is a game changer for those with little experience in self care and a great refresher for those who already have wellness practices. THANK YOU for offering this freely. What a gift it was to participate.

This is such a wonderful course! The instructor is so engaging and shares a lot of data on positive psychology. I found myself taking notes pretty vigorously as there were so many interesting pieces. It's very practical and helps you to build some really wonderful habits in your daily life. I would highly recommend taking it.

This course was quite impressive. It was one of the courses you feel lucky to took. Professor Laurie played a big role in that. I really loved how she lectured and it kept me interested in the classes. Resources were also very useful as well. Thanks everyone who played a role in bringing this course together and on coursera!

This was such a great course and came at just the right time, in the middle of a pandemic. I needed to look at my overall well being and this course hit the nail on the head. Laurie Santos is a detailed and honest Professor and she kept me engaged the entire time. I looked forward to what we were going to discover each week.

Having free time, due to the COVID 19 pandemic, one of the best decisions was to take The Science of Well-Being course. I learned useful and effective strategies to improve my decisions and live happily in the daily struggle. I am very grateful for the course and especially to Laurie Santos for her lectures and explanations.

A great choice to start within Coursera catalog courses! Perfect, challenging teacher and many to learn for the whole life. You will use this knowledge for long and discuss it with your beloved ones! I have so much energy to start a new approach to my Life. It was a good piece of psychology for newbies. Embrace it, everyone.

I liked the course because I learned things I did not know about myself and human nature in general. The discussion is backed up by a lot of studies and it is quite interesting. But as we learned, knowing is not half the battle. Practice is what make the changes permanent. It was a fun course with a great teacher. Thank you!

You will love everything about this course! It's mentally stimulating, has a fantastic presenter (a professor of psychology at Yale), and is all round great. I couldn't wait to move on each of the next sections in the course.

I would love to see a longer version of the same or a similar course, made available online as well.

For my first Coursera course, I have only gone through Week 1 and I absolutely love this. The freedom to be able to work whenever and wherever, but also have structure and a home base to get back to, is refreshing. I enjoy having access to go back to school while working a full-time job and expanding the wealth of knowledge!

I got to learn practical skills and knowledge to increase my happiness. Thanks to this course, I know the best way for me to feel happiness and stay grateful for what I have in my life. I will continue to carry out the methods that I learned from the course so that I will be able to navigate my life with full of happiness.

This was my first attempt to do a course via the Internet. After this wonderful experience, which really helped me to be less frustrated and focused on things that really matter, I will definitely use the internet to educate myself further. Thank you for making this course free, I really appreciate your work on this course.

The course is easy to follow and clear with all its goals in each stage. I had a great joy enrolling in this course and all the knowledge here can be applied in every area of our lives. I also enjoy the reading supplements coz it broaden my perspective about what happiness really is, and it's scientifically relatable to me.

Extremely interesting and motivating course, the teacher has a profound knowledge of the subject and has a an honest and friendly way of presenting information, which I liked a lot. I recommend this course to everyone as I believe it will be beneficial to every person on the planet, especially during this challenging times.

Life-changing course in the most positive of ways. What a wonderful surprise to be able to take this class during this COVID-19 pandemic, with so many challenges right now. It truly helped me commit to focus on what I could do, and what science shows can help, to be a person of improved well-being. Thank you, Dr. Santos!

This course is so good!! I love the teaching of professor Santo. The knowledge in this class is a must have if you want to be happier and get closer to the well-being of life. The Q&A section in each week is so valuable that it answer lots of my questions. It also reflect that yale's student always ask some great questions.

My CEO suggested this course to our team during lock down. We all did it at our own pace and came together and shared on a group email. We are using what we learned and the class provided us with tools we will implement with our guests, members and prospects. We also learned about each other and have bonded and are closer.

I strongly recommend the course. You learn about how gratitude, meditation, savoring work on your brain. You will be surprised by the effects of these behaviors on your emotional well being. You will see facts, statistics, numbers, and explanations about how important is to make an intentional effort to build our happiness.

Dr. Santos is an amazing teacher and more importantly an inspirational motivator. I really enjoyed her honesty and participation with us in the class. I would love to take more classes that she teaches online. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience that I hope is permanently life changing.

Sincerely

Nancy Turner

This course couldn't have come at a better time in my life. I was searching for meaning and striving to be happier. This course has guided me with lessons and strategies which will assist me well into the future. I feel like I could repeat it every ten weeks and it would be just as helpful and valid each time. Thank you!

Amazing course! Easy to follow and gives plenty of time to practice what it preaches. Not all that I learnt here was new to me, but somehow doing it in this structured way and really committing to incorporating these methods into my everyday life made a huge difference. I would definitely recommend this course to everyone.

Amazing and positive course. It gave me a different perspective on happiness and the research done to support everything about and around our happiness. We often take life and people around us for granted and forget how to be and stay happy. I'd be glad to take part in more projects from Yale University and by Dr. Santos.
