This course has changed the way I view happiness. I want to continually make improvements in myself and grow as a person.

Perfect! Everyone should do this one. You might not be able to get all the answers to life, but you shall know what to do.

It’s really a happy n funny learning journey for the past 10 week. Besides, it’s fruitful to my life n my living as well.

I enjoyed taking this course. The lectures, discussions, and activities support real change that lead to a happier life.

Really helpful, I'd recommend this course to anyone who wants to act on their hapiness, who simply wants to be happier.

I learned so much from this course. I have expanded into other courses and practices. Thank you for this experience.

This course helped me gain very useful insights into the science of well being. Thank you for offering this course.

Full of great strategies to help with well-being. The more effort you put in, the more you get out of the class.

Fabulous online course. Really helpful and enjoyable, feel so much happier due to the content!

Such an amazing, informative class!

I honestly never finish anything and this was well worth it!

This course was a life changer for me. I feel so lucky to have been able to be a part of it.

Highly recommend. If everyone would take this class, the world would be a better place. :)

Couldn't recommend it enough! What an incredible way to spend my time during the pandemic.

I loved this course. It is so helpful for anyone who wants to live a more content life.

Fantastic course. What a gift you give the world!

Very good class. I do wish it was a bit more intellectually challenging. I'm not sure if it was made palatable for the general public or if this is the level of instruction at Yale.

Professor Santos is a perfectly lovely teacher, however I am un-enrolling in The Science of Well-Being. I feel the age demographic is too far from me to be able to apply the lessons to my own life. The emphasis on social contact in this age of pandemic lock down is out of touch with how people are living at this point. If the class was updated to reflect current events I would be more interested.

Went too fast and did not find engaging

I am dropping this course. For starters, it's shocking to see such a high level of disengagement with the Yale students who are attending the course live. The professor is constantly 'pulling teeth' to get them to answer simple interactive questions.

But my bigger issue is this: the video is constantly being interrupted with a prompt to encourage me to purchase a certificate. There's no way to opt out of this happening throughout the video; therefore, I have to stop and start the course continuously. I took an Edx course several years ago called the Science of Happiness that was far more engaging, seamlessly interactive.

it is not what I expected a course to be. i have done many courses here but this one is the worst experience I ever had . nothing innovative to hold your attention , only boring lectures and a boring non interactive spokesperson .

This course was simply not for me. I never finished because it wasn't engaging.

I had major ethical disagreements with the content of the course

I have completed the course but why don’t I get the certificate?

Not very engaging

Incredible professor that really knows how to communicate well her thoughts and data to people with every kind of level of education, very eloquent, well spoken and well read. Great information about how to increase your overall happiness and well-being (many of my conceptions of what would make me happy were actually proven to be false). Very grateful for these classes, it helped a lot in my day to day routine: I was able to chance some habits to healthier ones and by the end of the course I definitely felt an improvement in my well-being as a whole, using the techniques teached in the classes (such as how to use my signature strengths and how to work in jobs that require me being challenged yet also being something manageable, not causing me to be anxious or feeling incompetent). It really helps you career wise, and also in your personal life, improving your social connections and giving actual strategies to improve your happiness in a very doable way.
