The course was fabulous!! I learned so much on how to apply the principles of happiness in such a practical way. I gained tools that will be very helpful throughout my life, and I am willing to continue to work on each of the rewirements to enhance my happiness.

Thank you Dr. Laurie Santos!!

This class was a great experience. I learned a lot about the science behind being happy, I also was provided with accurate research, tools and techniques that helped me to increase my happiness by "rewiring" and setting goals and changing my behavior to be happier in aspects of my life that are important.

This is a good course to take , i enjoy learning a method on how to adjust my behavior for a better life style and good teaching method too .I was so busy with work before that by now i realizes i miss out quite a lot .Thanks to this ,i now know what i miss and what to do about it too. Overall, good course !

Una experiencia que te permite ampliar la perspectiva de lo que es el bienestar, con el respaldo de la ciencia y con la aplicación de técnicas que realmente mejoran tus habilidades para gestionar tus emociones y tus objetivos, a la vez que mejoras tu salud y tu conexión con todas las personas de tu entorno.

**5 Stars** This course has been incredibly insightful and practical! It provided me with valuable tools and strategies for improving well-being through small, sustainable changes. The structure was easy to follow, and I appreciated the emphasis on scientific research behind each concept. Highly recommend!

This is a very important course. I believe it is a life skill course. It is very important for our present times of uncertainty and disruptive changes to learn as many life skills as we can. This course can help anyone to be mentally self-aware and disciplined in his way of thinking and relating. Thank you.

Great course, so glad I did it! The course has given me good tools that will help me apply all the learning in my day to day life. The facilitator was so good and made the learning easy to understand and follow. All in all, I could actually feel my happiness quotient increasing as the progressed! Thank you!

Highly effective, using interviews, research findings and the professor's insightfulness in explaining well-being and the challenges to well-being. Such an effective program, I plan to take this again to develop other long term habits. This program of study was a definite stress-reducer for my daily life.

I was aware that well-being is a condition very difficult to have and to preserve, before I started this Coursera Course, offered by Yale University. Every single minute with Professor Laurie Santos was really an experience I will never forget. Thank you for the opportunity to attend this incredible course.

This is an incredible course and I would highly recommend it to anyone struggling with those feelings of 'not enough-ness' or general, ineffable malaise. Not only do you define what you really want, you also learn about why you want what you do -- and how to understand what will really make you feel better.

It provided me with very useful tools to improve my well-being as well as a very interesting information to be aware of. I think if I'm able to keep applying all I've learnt, I can really improve my well-being in a long term scenario and share want I've learn with me loved ones so they can benefit from too.

Excelente! It was a very valuable experience to change some behaviors that bothered me. I am now on a new journey towards maintaining these learnings. I take the opportunity to ask how how to get the certificate? I thank , Suzy Fleury / Psychologist / São Paulo / Brasil suzyfleury@academiaemocional.com.br

It was a wonderful course that kept me fully engaged. I was in the hospital with COVID while taking the course and I know it helped me be in a better place mentally. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone that wants to find a more positive, happier place in their life! Thank you for sharing!

Everyone wants to be HAPPY! This course is a tangible way to increase your happiness and also possibly the happiness of others too! I enjoyed learning about the scientific research along with the practical suggestions given. My life is happier, due in part to this class and my effort to use what I learned.

Laurie Santos has the easiest way to explain things better. She's such a good teacher, always was helpful and was able to solvee doubts and concerns about the topics revised it.

So glad she had this initiative, and more glad she decided to share with 1 million people around the world.

She's truly the best!!!

Thank you for your outstanding course! I thoroughly enjoyed your engaging teaching style and learning more about the science of well-being. Your interactive assignments helped with forming new habits!

I'm grateful to have had the chance to participate. Especially during these crazy times. Well done!!

This was a FANTASTIC experience for me! I think much of the increase in my well-being I owe to this course. I was a little worried of the months ahead when we were asked to shelter at home. These past 10 weeks have been the richest, most fulfilling weeks of my life.

Thank you Laurie Santos. You inspired me!

I really enjoyed the course and look forward to more from Dr. Santos. The design of the course was perfect and blended the video lectures, the research and the interviews. The rewirements were helpful and the additional readings were valuable. The quick quizes were clever added to the course. All good!

A very recommendable course! I have learned numerous strategies about how to implement (which) habits that lead to a happier and more satisfied life.

The science-backed theories are very helpful and insightful to understand the why's and also be able to explain to others.

Thank you for creating this course!

This a great course and keeps you engaged through out the course with the examples, exercises and quiz at various stages. Trainer has done a great job about creating the interest in the course. I am sure it is going to be of value in life and put in practice. I will be interested in Advance Course, if any.

Overall the experience was postive and enlightening. I think I got this and am more aware of the everyday environment around me. I think I will take a moment for me time and then start planning long term goals of enjoyment. Thank you to Laurie Stanos and her team. "Find a reason to smile everyday" :-)

This course was excellent. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone and everyone. the instructor is great and lays out all the information perfectly to bring you along in understanding how and why this subject is important, as well as giving you really tangible tools to make a different in your own life. Loved it.

I absolutely love this program. Laurie was inspiring, engaging and relatable. The real time examples were terrific as was the supporting research and the way it was presented. I loved the mode and the ability to take snapshot notes of relevant areas to be able to reflect on later. Thank you for this gift.

I truly enjoyed the lectures and the Q&A's. I always had the impression of YALE students being smart and well educated, but it was sometimes tough to hear the word "like" in so many students' vocabulary. Other than that, I felt the course material truly helped me mentally, emotionally and physically, too.

Although I expected to develop a completely new set of skills that allowed me to achieve a greater level of happiness, my expectations fell short. This course has radically impacted my mindset and has allowed be to look forward, not only to become happier, but to help others on the way. Thank you so much!
