The Science of Well-Being is outstanding, insightful, effective, exceptional, doable, thought-provoking, timely, highly recommended, rational, reasonable, rewarding, " a just what the doctor order kind of experience ", fitting for our times. It is an antidote for discouragement, disappointment, and distress. It mitigates mistaken and misplaced ambitions.

So then, take the class... And see for yourself... I don't think you will be disappointed.

I have to say that even though I knew a lot of the things that this course talked about, I only had superficial information. I mean, who doesn't realize that sleeping better, eating healthy, being social, exercising, and meditating is good? Of course it is! But knowing the science behind it certainly makes it take much more meaning. I'd recommend this course to anyone looking to understand how and why those things make us feel better and happier.

I discovered that Well being is more about enjoying life in all the extensions, that we have to remember to savory every minute of it. I love how now I appreciate seeing more acts of kindness, gratitude every way I going and be able to help others to enjoy and celebrate life no matter what is the situation is always something positive in every challenge. I want to thanks Coursera, Yale University and the teacher for share this wonderful course.

This class is incredible. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to take it. Professor Santos and the lectures are so engaging and they alone made me so happy, my happiness scores raised before I even practiced the rewirements. Everything is well-planned, interesting and easy to follow. I learned a lot about myself, gained a healthier perspective and tools for happiness that will last a lifetime. Great and important work – everyone TAKE THIS COURSE!

It has been fantastic, I did not think that studying "The Science of Well-being" was going to be so beneficial in my life. I would recommend to everyone to take this wonderful course. Deciding to learn to be happy is entirely possible.

Ha sido fantástico, no pensé que cursar "La cienca del bienestar" iba a ser tan beneficioso en mi vida. Recomendaría a todo el mundo hacer este curso maravilloso. Decidir aprender a ser feliz es totalmente posible.

There is so much to learn about ourselves that it can take a whole lifetime to do so; and not knowing enough can impact the way we feel and how happy we are. The Science of Well Being course provided me with tools based on scientific research and analysis allowing me to focus on those things that would bring long lasting joy. By participating in this program and applying the knowledge shared I have definitively upgraded the quality of my life.

This was the first online course that I actually managed to complete. I've been adding courses to my dashboard for years and feeling pretty virtuous about it, but this course was interesting, interactive, and taught so brilliantly. The teaching was fantastic, the instructor Laurie Santos is funny, smart, and teaches in an engaging way. There is a plethora of online resources on happiness, but this course really motivated me and impacted my life.

This is a wonderful course that encourages you to self reflect on your own happiness. It's a course which is based on behavioral science and neuroscience. The course encourages you to reflect on your own habits and thought processes and to try to rewire the way that you think and behave. It's a course which is logically ordered and has a logical progression. This course is highly recommended for those wishing to reflect on their own well-being.

This course has provided me with enlightening insights into techniques and tools with scientifically based research which have guided me to multiple ways to build and maintain my personal wellbeing. This was the perfect nudge for me to start a journey of behavioural change and character strengthening for the better. Thanks Yale University for sharing this course and thanks Coursera for making it available for free. I recommend this course 100%.

I loved the course and the teacher! She is so down to earth and communicates with great ease. Excellent teacher.

As for the course, I got so much out of it I wish I could pass the information on locally in my homwotwn in Mexico to many students that struggle with life issues. I think this kind of knowledge should be standarized in all schools so students could to have a better perspective of life.

I am so thankful to Professor Laurie Santos!

Fantastic course, 5 stars without thinking twice. I am professionally working with the science of wellbeing, but I found the course very useful, nevertheless. I would recommend it to everybody, since you can take out of the course, whatever you need for yourself. For beginners it would be mind-blowing, I would expect. But also specialists know that actual change need time and this is a wonderful program to change for the better for everyone...

I am quite a bit older than most of the college students and have learned most of what is taught here through experience and hard knocks. The students are lucky that this has now been researched and they can learn this earlier in life to live a better life. So glad to see this information shared with the world. I sound like an old fogey but in my day there was nothing like this and no opportunities to learn this stuff like this. Excellent!

Perfect class to take especially during this difficult time in our world with the Covid19 pandemic spreading across the world. And then to throw in the Black Live Matters movement and exposing how racist our country is. The George Floyd murder was absolutely awful and the result is the loss of a human being and a major shakeup in our country on how black people are treated by the police. We all need more happiness in our lives. Great course!!

I really enjoyed this course. The course taught me how to actually implement what I learnt rather than just learning. The strategies in this course have helped me build new habits & maintain consistency, as well. The overall course content is very insightful and interesting. The Professor was very engaging too. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wishes to learn about what factors actually influence our happiness in life. Thank You.

Such perfect timing in offering this course on line. With the Covid-19 pandemic effecting so many of us, Laura Santos was a welcoming ray of sunshine. The class was easy to follow and helped me to put so many things in perspective. I obtained a great deal of information and have adopted new healthy habits that I plan to utilize daily...and even if I forget from time to time, I know that it's okay too. Thanks Professor Santos for sharing!

This really is a great course! The instructor helps you understand how the mind works and discusses research that shows that things and even certain accomplishments don't make you as happy as you think they will, or that the enjoyment or happiness they bring diminishes drastically over time. It helps one build good habits that will lead to a much happier state of mind than can be achieved by just earning money and buying things, for example.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class and learned so much. This course has helped me take a step back and look at what is really important in life. I can successfully say that I actually changed parts of my life and I am now more naturally and more consistently happy because of it. This course was engaging and thought provoking. I encourage anyone who is ready to look at their life under a new microscope and make changes, start with this course!

As a 77 year old recent retiree, I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I wish I had done it much earlier in my life as it would have helped me get through many difficult challenges and stresses encountered. I aim to use what I have learned to increase my sense of well-being for the rest of my life. Adopting the rewirements contributes not only to personal fulfillment but also to our compassion, empathy and understanding of others.

Thank you.

I just completed this course. The teacher is fantastic and the content is very relevant. The course not only gives a good overview of how our minds trick us into thinking that something is good for us, but also lists techniques we could use to improve the quality of our lives. I learned a lot about the science behind the course and personal well-being. There are also additional materials/links for those who want to explore the topics more.

This course teaches a great deal of life. The only con in this course is you will not get any result unless or until you apply it. Now being happy or sad completely the responsibility of mine.

The interviews and proven concepts make me believe in the concept and theories described in the course. The professor explains things really well. Thanks for sharing this deep knowledge to the public who can not attend Yale. Thanks a lot and respect.

I think in our hearts we know what should make us happy, It seems simple. This course was excellent in explaining the most up to date theories and got you to "rewire" by practicing ways to interpret the way you think about happiness. the course work was broken down into manageable pieces that were easy to achieve and understand. I am glad I took the time to do the course and I am determined to use the tools it provided me to stay happier.

In the beginning, I thought this is just another fancy course that tells you how to be happy. After the second week, the full power of the course unfolded. The combination of hard science on mental health and well-being, the constant invitation from the outstanding Prof. Lauri Santos to put things into practice, and the great structure of the course had a profound impact on me. I'd really like to see follow up courses that dive deeper in.

This was the first online course that I have taken. It was a steep learning curve as to how it all worked. Once I looked around the course website and discovered the forums. By looking over and reading some of the forum questions and answers I was able to get more organized as to how the course was going to go.

Overall taking this course and learning the current science behind happiness has been a positive experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed the wide-ranging scope of this course and would like to express my gratitude to Yale University and Laurie Santos for making it accessible to people worldwide. The course introduced a plethora of strategies aimed at enhancing mental well-being, accompanied by a practical blueprint for implementing and transforming these strategies into lasting habits. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to individuals of all ages.

This is an excellent course for anyone seeking to increase their quality of life. The lectures are well structured and easy to follow, while the list of recommended readings is plentiful for those seeking additional information.

Avoid being prematurely disenchanted by the apparent simplicity of the findings and recommendations, once you genuinely start putting into practice the course’s assignments you will be surprised with the results.
