A lot of people might think this course teaches you basic 'how to be happy' tips that everyone knows by instinct. It actually teaches you much more than that, and I'm sure you'll be surprised to find out about many things you thought would make you happy that actually hardly do!

The Science of Well-Being is a course designed to teach individuals how to become happier by understanding the science behind happiness. One of the key aspects of the course is rewiring one's brain to change behavior and habits, which leads to a happier and more fulfilling life.

The course provided with an immense knowledge of various aspects that influence our well-being. The mentor is so good in her explanations. The activities were also very easy to understand and were effective. Overall, this course is a must for at least people pursuing psychology.

Excellent course

Most people (including me) just ignore the fact that the most important asset that we have is ourselves. This course teaches you how to manage your time in a better way, how to be grateful, and change your life in a way that you just enjoy every moment you have.

A fantastic course full of interesting and insightful information. Laurie is a great teacher and presence and I could not recommend this course enough! If you want more insight into your own happiness and how to reach that goal better, then I strongly suggest taking this course.

I learned that what I thought was mostly out of my control--my happiness, is actually within my control. I can make small changes to my life and celebrate what makes me truly happy. And, along the way, I might bring that joy to other people around me. Fascinating and so helpful.

Loved this course! Helped me to implement new habits, and spend time focusing on habits that I already have but have wanted to spend more time on. Learning from the course that spending time on those habits can lead to an increase in happiness makes the time spent well worth it!

I really enjoyed this course. It was well organized, interesting, informative, and practical. I liked the way so much current research in Positive Psychology was brought into an easy to consume format. I will use this information for myself as well as with my clients. Thank you!

The construct and flow of the learning pathway was effective and practical. The self discovery along the journey was immense. All the lead-up learning elements to the final rewirement set me up to succeed. Enjoyed the frameworks shared. My wellbeing has been elevated. Thank you.

A very impactful course for anyone who needs to take time for their well being. This course is engaging without feeling overwhelming. There are a lot of helpful yet surprisingly easy research based tools introduced that produce results. This course is a great time investment!

Excellent course. Easy to follow and super interesting to learn about the things that truly make people happy. All of the activities seemed like they were going to be super easy to implement, but in fact they were not, which added a challenge to the course that I really enjoyed.

Well done. As a senior/senior I was a little unsure if I can "attend" a classroom again, and

then with identifying with the college age students in the class. No need to worry. I enjoyed it and feel a great sense of satisfaction, of I can do it!!!

Thank you for the opportunity

I really appreciated having evidence-based strategies for improving my happiness. As the instructor says, knowing isn't enough - you also have to put it into practice. I've been meditating more, feeling more socially connected, and just generally a lot more emotionally stable.

I started studying when our country New Zealand went into lockdown. I really enjoyed this course and I have gone on to incorporate meditation and mindfulness into my life. I highly recommend this course if you don't use what you learn now, it is valuable to have in later life.

It is a very powerful course. By taking this course, it brought me into regular exercise, and more healthy mental status, I found out that learning is one of the sources that would make me feel happy. I highly recommend this course to all high schoolers and university students.

Truly an eye-opening experience, that helps one connect the science of well-being to one's everyday life and get the most of it. My happiness score went up. It's not magic, it's the result of small consistent effort and I feel so proud of myself. Thanks Dr. Laurie and Coursera!

Laurie was amazing. Her personality lit up the screen and all of her knowledge was apparent in the way she spoke and taught the course. She really made you want to learn and be committed to the course. I am so lucky to have been able to have this opportunity to learn from her.

Right from the beginning the course felt very helpful. The thing I liked most is reference material is provided at the end of every week. Also providing a separate Q&A video at end is a really nice idea. I would suggest everyone who want to improve their life to do this course.

My experience with this course was absolutely fantastic! I truly enjoyed both the lectures and the rewirement challenge. I focused on exercise but now I want to try out gratitude and see how that might affect my happiness as well. Do yourself a favor and TAKE THIS COURSE!!!! :)

Really loved this course! I started it in January 2020 and had no idea that two months later, the pandemic would hit! It was perfect to finallyl complete the course in July after a few stalls. Great content to apply to your life. Would highly recommend the course to anyone!

I could no be happier that I took this class. It is excellent. Well put together and gives solid techniques to use to bring yourself into a better state of mind. Considering we are in the middle of a pandemic, I am so glad I was able to concentrate and really work on the class.

Me encantó. Me parecieron muy buenos los contenidos y los ejercicios y test que los acompañaban. Espero que mucha más gente lo pueda hacer y que si existieran nuevos estudios puedan hacer un segundo módulo. Felicitaciones Laurie, me gustó mucho lo que trasmitias en cada video..

I loved this course. I had listened to The Happiness Lab podcast and was delighted to be able to experience the course for myself. Going through the actual course helped me understand the concepts in greater detail and to for effective rewirements to improve my own happiness.

Este curso me proporciono información científica del estudio del bien estar y su importancia para a felicidad de las personas, creo que todas las personas independientemente de su formación académica deberían tomar este curso, ya que es muy productivo y útil par la vida diaria.

This course was beautifully done. I learned so much more than I expected to. The lectures were very interesting and kept to a length that was easily digested. This course became my bright spot during this pandemic lock down. Thank you to Laurie Santos for making this available.
