What a perfect time to have had this course, during COVID19. I really needed this to keep me engaged and to have a purpose while stuck at home. Even if I wasn't home, seeing things from that perspective really helped to make me APPRECIATE the things in my life more and WANT less.

This course is one of the best courses I have ever taken in my career. This course should be a requirement for every individual. If we could all reflect gratitude, social connection, meditation, and the other tools, this world would be a better place with less violence and greed.

Enjoying my life with my family and friends, Being grateful for my health and skills and what I have. Sharing with others and to let them know how much they have enriched my life. This course has changed the course of my life by teaching me happiness and gratitude go together.

This was such a wonderful course. When I came into it I was not in a good place. Greif is so hard. I feel like I am doing better and am able to look forward to things again. I was able to finally let go of some things and say some things that needed to be said. Thank you for this.

I learned and enjoyed this course and I highly recommend it to all, particularly the younger generations (GenZs and millennials). I appreciate how the professor made this course as engaging and fun as possible and kudos to all the Yale students who also took part in it! Thank you!

The Science of Well-Being offers valuable information about happiness and the misconceptions we have with regard to our well-being. The rewirement challenge was an interesting way to help students form new and improved mental constructs in hopes of a more positive and happy life.

Now the work begins by putting the work and tools discovered in the last ten weeks of accomplishing the real meaning of a 'Well-Being Life' as demonstrated by Professor Santos.

The lectures were the highlight of the course and hearing from various authories on the subject matter.

Concerning everyone's well being, happiness, health & career progression this is an invalueable course which is simple, doable, effective & suitable for everyone if applied practically in life at any stage. Thanks to Dr Laurie Santos for compiling this beautiful well being course.

I really enjoyed this course. It was a challenge in that it did take an effort to keep up while balancing work, etc. I am happy to be back into my meditation practice as a result of the course and being even more aware of gratitude. Thanks Dr. Santos, Yale University and Coursera!

Exceptional course that helped me understand the reasons why rewirements work.

Well structured with a variety of delivery styles and extra reading for those who wanted to find out more.

The tutor was very personable and encouraged and facilitated learning well.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Science of Well-Being was a really great class. I was able to work on it on my own, flexible time-table and the lessons involved are very real and impact our lives. This class taught me some invaluable lessons that I have incorporated into my daily life in the last 10 weeks.

You will really enjoy this course, especially how Prof Santos structured the lectures, all flowing with repetition and curiosity, last-present-next, please. :) The best comes at the end, the rewirement weeks, and reading/grading your coursemates work -- so inspiring so positive!!!

Laurie really left me with some great tips on how to improve my well-being. Even after the class, I started implementing things such as the gratitude journal and savoring things so I really enjoyed this class. I recommend everyone take this class no matter if you are happy or not.

WOW... I was so scare and escited when I signed up since I am from France and honestly online course from university was my 1st time. They are fabulous and I understood ;-) Laurie Santos was very good, fabulous, she explained the way that I can finish my course. Bravo!! well done

Loved it - learnt a lot and have and will keep changing to maintain my wellbeing - thanks to the wonderful tutor Prof Laurie for keeping me engaged and motivated ! I think everyone needs to understand miswanting as a concept if you want to be happy in life and maintain optimism.

Course helped me re-examine my life. Re-evaluate what I thought I had to have into needs and wants. I've been trying to want less, need less, in essence Marie Kondo my life, my house etc. This course helped kickstart that process. I was overwhelmed and hadn't known where to begin.

This was the best 10 week class I've taken in years. Its caused me to create better daily habits and understand myself and my goals with much more clarity. The instructor is very engaging and the data is fascinating! I'm beyond grateful someone encouraged me to take this class!

Superb design. Stimulating lectures and smartly-built modules that follow a strong, compelling development. The exercises are all valuable and rewarding. The instructor is charismatic and endearing. The ancillary app for tracking progress with "homework" challenges is very useful.

I did hesitate spending 10 weeks for the course in the beginning but hey this is worth it. Nothing can be a bigger priority than our well being, and how we live our day to day lives. I am even considering purchasing certificate. Good luck with the course. You are going to love it!

I was surprised how much I managed to increase my happiness levels after doing this program. I am 57 and know I am never too old to learn or become a better person - this course helped me along the way during an extremely stressful & difficult time in my life. Highly recommended.

This course exceeded my expectations. The information was useful, easy to implement, and has given me grist for so many personal and professional conversation, it's hard to track it all. I highly recommend this course for everyone. We all need to learn how to avoid miswanting!

Loved this course! It was a fun approach to learning something that I normally put in more of a spiritual light. Some of the knowledge that I gleaned from this course will be carried with me for the rest of my life. To me, that makes this course definitely worth my investment.

This was a really amazing course and in my opinion life changing. The last ten weeks have been a really great journey and I’ve realized changes i need to make and how to change them. Thank you Laurie Santos and thank you for making this course available online and free of charge.

Professor Santos keeps things lively and provide a scientific basis for things some dismiss as touchy feely pointless practice. Participating in it has introduced me to the science behind it and enables me to put in place a structure which contributes to ,y helath and well-being.

Excellent course. Perfect topic, great content and wonderful style by this professor. While this seems uniquely fitted for this time of adapting to the COVID 19 shut down, this is truly timeless information that will make anyone more effective in living their life successfully.
