I very much appreciated this course and it helped me during the pandemic to have something positive to focus on. I also learned some valuable tools that I have already started implementing in my daily routine. I appreciated you offering this course to me and am grateful to have had the opportunity to take it! Thank you!

One of the best personal development courses, I have ever taken. I've already seen so many benefits of the course. We enjoyed the videos a lot . We love the way the professor talks and explains the lectures. She is very sweet, knowledgeable and passionate about what she teaches. I feel like she became our new friend.

Thank you Professor Laurie for an excellent course. It was so well structured with extensive research to support the video clips. Every weekly topic came with information that was relevant and thought provoking. I learnt so much from this course and have been able to use the ideas to generate well being in my own life.

Excellent course that blend the knowledgment side and the practice of skills to increse our well-being and happiness.

This course has helped me to increse my perception of well-being, usig meditation, sleeping properly more than 7 hours every day anf focus my attention in savoring the good things that I have in my life.

I found this course very enjoyable. Professor Santos gives some useful pieces of advice to live a better life, strategies which were given are very useful, I think everyone would be pleased by the straordinarie effects of those tips after a while spent exercising your daily routine, your body, but especially your mind!

It was great to take time to focus on the things that are really important in our lives. Those things that sometimes we don't allow ourselves to acknowledge and that we usually take for granted.

Doing the course during the pandemic helped me look at the situation form another perspective and it helped me stay positive.

This was a fantastic course, thank you for the opportunity. It would have been beneficial to see the rubric for the final assignment before having to submit it. Also, I found it hard to relay the information I wanted to in the amount of sentences it said to use, a couple more sentences for each one wold have been nice.

Loved the course and learnt so much about what is truly important to happiness. The timing was perfect given the COVID-19 pandemic. The forced locked down provided the space to really focus on my learnings from the course and implement changes to make my life happier going forward. Thank you so much Laurie and Yale!

This course is what got me through this very difficult time. I have learned so many new strategies for behavior modification through positive psychology that will stay with me forever. Thank you, Yale and Professor Santos , for offering this class at no cost! It has been incredibly eye-opening and well worth doing.

This course has been the best thing that could have happened to me, I never thought that it would be possible to achieve a positive impact in such a short time and that the solution to my problems was in me and I did not know it.

I begin to know how to enjoy every minute of my life.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY

Exceptional course. I've read many books on happiness and well-being, but none have had the same kind of positive impact on my life as this course. Teaching the science then giving specific assignments to put these known-to-work strategies into practice is an unbeatable combination. Couldn't recommend it more strongly.

I loved this course. It’s easy to do in small segments and Laurie is soooo interesting. I feel happy that I’ve already actually been doing most of the right things but I feel it’s increased my confidence and that discovering meditation and mindfulnessness has helped me to slow down yet achieve more. Thanks so much.

The course was very beneficial to me, I believe it should be taught not only to undergraduate students but also to High School students so they understand themselves more and are able to make educated decisions. I am 44 years and never understood myself as much as I did after completing the course.

Thank you very much!

Dr. Santos provided a fun and meaningful way to learn and try new strategies to help increase personal happiness. It's incredibly refreshing to have someone who is an educator letting us know that grades are really NOT the most important thing in the world. I wish she could've told me that before I finished college :)

Thank you for your foresight in teaching The Science of Well-Being!

Balance is needed and necessary to elevate the level of thought and access creative solutions to today's global and local events and personal relationships! All the best in your growth and journey!

Thank you,

Phenomenal instructor, excellent organization of materials and 100% relatable, informative and helpful. Thank you to Professor Santos and her students.

In the course, you will focus on what really matters and become more aware about precious time and gratitude!

Give yourself the gift of this priceless education :)

Thank you, thank you Dr. Santos & team, for allowing me to see through the rose-colored glasses again! You have both brightened and enhanced my perspective!

Absolutely amazing! The teacher was engaging, and the classroom setting made me feel as though I was really there. Everything we learned changed the way that I see the world and the vision of happiness that I had. It helped me realize what I really wanted, by understanding what happiness was first. I 100% recommend!

Hugely insightful and engaging course with a very broad range of material presented in an easy to understand and thought provoking way. The course encourages change and action without adding stress or anxiety that can often come with the feeling of having to do better. I thoroughly recommend this course for everyone!

This course has significantly enhanced my life, happiness and well-being. The lectures, the interviews, the reference material and entire course content are outstanding. I will ensure that what I have learned from this course will always remain a part of my life and guide me towards continued growth and happiness.

I am quite an experienced and learned man, but I must admit that this course opened new avenues of thought from a practical point of view of making life better and being happier. I am delighted that this course added something worthwhile to my knowledge. Congratulations Yale for organizing such a wonderful experience

This is a great course - very enjoyable to do with engaging and entertaining content but also designed very well to help you put the concepts into practice in your own life (though this will still take work and commitment, it is great that the course design itself mirrors the concepts discussed . Highly recommended.

I really loved the science of well-being and i will recommend it to other people. Why? Because i learned so much about my own happinesslevel, i can use it in my job as a coach for communication. Upshot: It is a very good chance to create an own strategy for being happy and to teach others about it. Thank you so much.

I loved this course, simply. By putting forward research backed views, Laurie does a fantastic job of bringing those often forgotten small things in our lives. The course design is also great, helping you to form a habit and motivating you to stick to it. Tangible changes in happiness scores is simply an added bonus!

Loved the energy which seemed to rub in throughout the presentations.

I liked the crisp, clear presentation

Revisiting the earlier discussed areas was a good technique.

Quiz in presentation helped to focus

Liked the question answer sessions.

Was very impressed by the confidence and ease.

Thank you Laura for creating this.
