Wow for Dr Santos

So many times we talk about life changing events - but this was the one for me. And it will impact my life.

Her amount of additional material to study and watch was so helpful. I felt convinced about every claim she was making. I do not know how the express my thanks for being a part of my life in this difficult Covid time. But it was sure a ray of sunshine for me.

This was a great course. I learned so much about myself and by implementing the strategies taught here I have changed my life plan and life goals. I am taking more counseling classes and started a career change at almost 50 years old for a career I can feel good about and to one that benefits the lives of others! Thank you so much for this course! It literally changed my life!!

I highly recommend the course. I knew some of the things of the course but seen the evidence and science behind them, it's a plus. Also the miswanting concept and biases of our brain, it's so important to know them! I thank Laurie for putting this course together, she's a very good communicator and her work is making a big impact to make this place a better world. Congratulations!

Take this course. Even just listening to positive content each week has made such an impact on my day to day life. I learned so much about myself and my mindset towards happiness. I learned different activities to try and mindset switches to really point myself in the direction of a "Happy Life." If you are on the fence about taking this class, just go for it. This is a good one.

Excelente formación, incentiva los valores universales de convivencia en comunidad que son tan necesarias en estos momentos para la humanidad. Aprovecho para solicitar información de como obtener el certificado, para incentivar a otros a tomar el curso. Habida cuenta de que mi rendimiento fue del 100% y en la fecha prevista, espero ser beneficiada con este reconocimiento. Saludos.

This course has been somewhat like polishing my favorite old shoe to make it brand new again. I feel empowered with the science of living my life supported and continously being documented with the experience of everyday people like you and myself. It is not enough to know this science it must be implemented and thank you for making me accountable for my own well-being. I loved IT

I absolutely loved the course and now that I have completed it, I am already missing it! Certain things you already know, but you need it coming from a third party to really make lifestyle changes. The research backed explanation is working with me and i feel all charged up to go ahead with an attitudinal change.

Thank you Laurie Santos for introducing me to this wonderful course!

Confesso que no inicio torci o nariz para o curso, porém, ao decorrer da experiencia, acreditei nos metodos e começei a pratica-los. Foi a melhor escolha que fiz, de alguma forma me senti relizado e menos ansioso, focando no presente, hoje sou um profissional organizado e eficiente, ainda não estou aonde realmente quero, porém, sinto que evolui, muito obrigado pela oportunidade!

This course is amazing, I highly recommend, it’s really for everybody, great, nice and friendly professor, Laurie is great , she is kind and human, she will get you the information how I mind work and you will learn about different ways how to become happier so you can choose what seem appropriate to you, and you and only you can decide to become happier by choosing this course.

A fantastic, comprehensive course that goes into great detail about the science behind how our brains work and how we can add simple habits into our day and the fact that they are scientifically proven to increase your happiness. Everyone I know who has completed this course had specified how much this has actually increased their happiness so I cannot recommend it highly enough!

I loved this course because I always kind of lived on what the course preaches (giving up a better job, or city, or anything that doesn´t make me happy), but I was never able to explain to my peers why I thought differently and, so, for me, this course is the perfect "I told you so" moment for me. This will save me so much hardship in my family, so thank you! Thank you very much!

I am so delighted to come across this course. I recommend this to everyone. The most interesting thing for me, personally, was that every topic discussed here are well documented and scientifically proven. And last but not the least, we all need to be mindful of our thoughts which will reflect in our actions and will help to become compassionate human beings.

Thank you

Regards

This course is clearly laid out and easy to follow. Professor Santos has an easy, well-informed and highly personable manner in presenting the material which is evidence-based and - yes - really works if you practice and apply it! My own happiness scores increased significantly between starting and completing this course. I'm already recommending it to anyone who will listen!!

It has been a privilege to work through this course, and not just for the sake of completing something from Yale! SO grateful for the science behind these things and because it's science it breeds the confidence needed to step out and PRACTICE these things because it's proven data. I would highly recommend this course to anyone desiring to continue on their journey of well-being.

An excellent course with very informative contents. I am an academic myself who has been going through a very rough patch in my life. This course has given me perspectives and concrete strategies that I can use to look at life and do things slightly differently at the start and this slowly steers me away from the negative loop that I was trapping myself in in the past. Thank you.

I have 2 college degrees, one master degree and have taken a few online courses till know, but this is the best ever. Have taught me how to see things in a more clear and satisfactory way. to live in a more conscious and happy way. I am sharing a lot of this course tips with friend and students.It introduce me to interesting books and Ted talks too. I think I will take it again!

Love and like this course very much. The teacher is so clear, helpful with all of her info as well as knowledge. The syllabus is rich, understandable and easy to follow. The only minus point is Certificate is not written your name on it but "Coursera Learner" which I am not prefer at all. Should be written with the full name of the Learner as it is something so worth to be name.

Amazing course, that helps me a lot about accepting myself and knowing what I was able to do to feel happier. I loved every week and every challenge. Thank you so much Laurie Santos for sharing your work and giving us the opportunity to feel better about ourselves, thanks to your kindness and your way of making us feel less guilty about ourselves and more in control of our life.

This course not only teaches the science and research related to happiness and well-being but also discusses ways to implement this knowledge into your daily life. I've learned a lot about myself and have engaged in active self-reflection and data collection to really assess and work towards my values. I found this class engaging, interesting, and undeniably relevant to my life.

Even though I have healthy habits established and a happy outlook on life, last year really threw me for a loop and it helped to go through this class during it. The research Laurie presents and techniques like WOOP and reference points really pushed me to keep making my happiness a priority using information I learned during the course. I couldn’t recommend this course enough!!

Laurie Santos is a great presenter and this was a great course to do especially during the pandemic. I confidently can say I have a better outlook of life, and I've learned to deal with certain things a different way because of it. I'm more relaxed..thanks to what I learned in this course. Thank you for making this available and I look forward to taking more courses on Coursera!

I will be forever grateful that I took this course. It has been life changing insofar that it has provided me with a different set of lenses to look at the world and my place in it. I wanted to share this good news with everyone and tell people to take this course because it is time well spent. Thank you Ms. Lori for sharing your knowledge and being such an amazing Professor.

A fantastic way to start your journey to a better life (and a better version of yourself). Laurie Santos is a formidable engaging and fun instructor, and time flies as you feel you are chatting amongst friends. The amount of resources linked to in the course is great and I already have many more hours of reading planned just to finish all the books and articles referenced there!

Tomar este curso fue una experiencia maravillosa. Poner en práctica hábitos que están científicamente probados para aumentar el bienestar o la felicidad suena como algo suena como algo fácil pero no lo es, necesitamos hacer un esfuerzo para estar bien y es excelente tener las herramientas necesarias para hacer que ese esfuerzo sea efectivo. ¡Me encantó The Science of Well-Beign!

I was very engaged with this course. The material presented and discussed was so relevant to me and my life (as I am sure it was for others living through thepandemic). I want to purse work in this field. I want to help others and use the knowledge that I learned in this course. Laurie Santos was an amazing instructor. So well versed! Thank you for this experience. I want more!
