Awesome Course. Thank you Dr. Santos. I have read a lot of the books you mentioned on happiness prior to taking the course, but the way you structured everything shows your incredible communication abilities and made it practically useful, which is the most important thing!

Nothing overwhelming or technical here.
This is just a clear and concise course about one of the least clear and concise of human pursuits. It's definitely not a magic cure-all of self-help. It is just a nudge in the direction of understanding your own positive psychology.

Excellent course; amazing information about how the mind actually works; not exactly how we want it to. Elevated my level of awareness, thoughts and behaviors that actually prevent me from reaching my full potential. Lovely instructor, taught with grace. Content expert!

The course was fun to listen to. I longed for interactions with the students and the professor but online courses are challenging in that way. Still, the material was manageable: the extra readings and the guests were also super important. A very useful course! Thank you!
