I enjoyed taking this class. It helped me begin a daily meditation practice and provided me with the tools I needed to succeed with this goal. It was a very beneficial class to and it gave me something else to focus on during this time of being more isolated.

Getting to know Dr. Santos has been highly inspiring since this was the perfect time for me to think about applying the science of psychology.

My challenge now is to use the strategies learned and achieve healthier habits in order to increase my well being

This course has been wonderful. I have learned so much about being happy and what truly works. My mood and level of happiness has greatly improved. This course is great for all ages. I think they should make this a required course in middle or high school.

This was an outstanding experience! The content is so valuable to living a life of contentment and well being. I enjoyed the flexibility of watching the videos at my convenience. The rewirement activity was very worthwhile. I enjoyed the instructor very much.

This should be a requirement for everybody. The course is well presented and Dr Santos is well versed in the field and very engaging. It is a great way to learn what it really takes to be happy and how to achieve it. I am very happy that I took the course!

Amazing course! Not only it provides a lot of scientific knowledge regarding well-being and happiness, but also teaches valuable and practical strategies to improve our lives. Thank you Prof. Santos, and Coursera for making this course accessible to everyone.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was very well laid out and very interesting. I also liked the rewirement assignment. It has changed the way I view life, the choices I make, and attitudes I keep. Thank you, Professor Santos, Yale University, and Coursera!

Simplesmente maravilhoso, une teoria e prática, com muitas fontes de vídeos e leituras, que só fazem a gente querer se aprofundar ainda mais nos temas debatidos. Laurie é uma ótima professora e continuo a seguindo no desdobramento do curso, em seus podcasts.

This is an excellent course that has really helped me to grow and change my mindset and outlook. With everything that 2020 has thrown at the world this has helped me to really focus and see the positive that I can have, just my changing my focus and mindset.

Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity to grow as a human being. Thank you for adding so much value to my life with new knowledge and tools that are already contributing to make my life, and the life of those around me so much better. Bendiciones !

Thank you so much for every thing! The tools are great, progression is incredible. When I began this course, I was in burn out recovery phase. I can definitely say that this course helped me a lot to find my way back to healthy life. Thank you so much again!

Thank you Dr. Laurie Santos and team for this course! You were very thorough which made the lesson easy to understand, remember, and apply on our daily lives. I have recommended this class to my friends/family, well worth our time. Best wishes to y'all...

I absolutely loved this course! I have already read a lot of books around hapiness and well-being. This course however brought me even more concrete theory around how our brain works and how to rewire. I keep on referring to it in my various interactions.

this class was excellent. I was surprised to find out that I am already doing most of the healthy practices for a "good life". I completed an MBA online and the organization of this class through coursera was ten fold better than the MBA program I completed.

I thoroughly enjoyed this 10-week course. It was the best investment of my time during the COVID19 shutdown in Australia. The program was easy to follow, engaging and the skills and knowledge I've learn are invaluable. I am a happier person and I thank you.

This course was very informative on the science behind happiness and opened my eyes to hedonic adaptation. This course gave me some tools to help improve my own happiness. I enjoyed the professors method of delivery and liked how she share relatable stories.

This course is very enlightening of true happiness indicators and tools to increase happiness levels. Professor Santos' teaching style makes it easy to stay engaged during the lectures. This course was very informative for how short the actual lectures were.

I loved this course. And it actually changes you for sure (only if you are willing to do what it takes ;)

The professor kept the lectures very fun and short so people don't get bored through it. I love the quizes to check if you paid attention to the lecture.

Thank you Laurie for offering this course. I enjoyed 'relearning' the idea of happiness. I did my senior thesis from my study abroad program on happiness and it was nice to revisit those memories and add new ones from your course.

Thanks again,

Julie Piper

So grateful to be given this opportunity to take the time to discover what is in me. Always so busy taking care of everyone else this allowed me to take time to rediscover what I am so grateful for. Thanks Laurie Santos and Yale for a wonderful experience!

I have learnt more than enough within just a short period of time. With numerous empirical studies, understanding is made so simple. I am so happy to be a part of this course especially in a moment in history where happiness is almost becoming an illusion.

This course (which I found advertised by chance) offered me a greater chance on increased happiness. I learned more every step of the way. Thank you to Laurie Santos for all that she and others put into developing this course on the science of well-being.

This was a very useful course and I believe that anyone dealing with unhappiness in life should complete this course. This course has helped me both increase my happiness and develop many good habits such as exercising consistently and getting enough sleep.

Excelete, me gusto el programa que paso por paso te lleva por los temas a tratar y lo que pareció más útil fueron los métodos para la implementación de metas que favorecen la realización de estas. Así como medios para acceder a la felicidad que desconocía.

This was an awesome class. It helped me confirmed a lot of questions in terms of my purpose and my liking for the positive psychology. You did an amazing job in teaching the class. I truly enjoyed the interaction with your own students on campus. Thank you!
