Amazing course and amazing instructor. The environment and vibes throughout were positive and helped me feel much happier and understand much more about looking at life through different perspectives.

Wish I would have taken this my senior year in college, because I was so stressed about my exams and this course really puts everything into perspective! I highly recommend looking at all the research that goes into "making" yourself happy.

Awesome! I have learned so much and really enjoyed the course. I particularly enjoyed learning about how sometimes our minds can lead us astray. And the rewirements were (and still are) a brilliant way of adjusting towards healthier habits.

The course provided well-prepared lectures in which science was used to back up the ideas presented. Dr. Santos presented in a conversational style that was engaging and approachable. The pace was appropriate and the goals were achievable.

Great course that helps change mindsets into even better ones. everyone naturally seeks happiness, but not everyone is able to strategize their life towards true happiness. This course is the way to go about strategizing a good well-being.

It was just really great to do. Some of the things I knew (but like it suggests, didnt quite know how to put these skills/habits into practise. The course showed you how and also how to make/incorporate these skills/habits into your life

Amazing! I would recommend this to anyone, but especially to those who struggle with finding happiness that cannot be found in tangible things. I would also recommend this to anyone who is struggling with or fighting their inner pessimist.

I really enjoyed this course and am recommending it to everyone I think would be interested! I found it most useful to understands the concepts and 'why' behind so many things that I felt I naturally did, but without really knowing why...

A really good and very complete course, the justifications of the investigations, the summary of the results, the hypotheses and the development. It covers everything that is expected from a course, methodology and strategies for change.
