Extremely interesting and motivating course, the teacher has a profound knowledge of the subject and has a an honest and friendly way of presenting information, which I liked a lot. I recommend this course to everyone as I believe it will be beneficial to every person on the planet, especially during this challenging times.

Life-changing course in the most positive of ways. What a wonderful surprise to be able to take this class during this COVID-19 pandemic, with so many challenges right now. It truly helped me commit to focus on what I could do, and what science shows can help, to be a person of improved well-being. Thank you, Dr. Santos!

This course is so good!! I love the teaching of professor Santo. The knowledge in this class is a must have if you want to be happier and get closer to the well-being of life. The Q&A section in each week is so valuable that it answer lots of my questions. It also reflect that yale's student always ask some great questions.

My CEO suggested this course to our team during lock down. We all did it at our own pace and came together and shared on a group email. We are using what we learned and the class provided us with tools we will implement with our guests, members and prospects. We also learned about each other and have bonded and are closer.

I strongly recommend the course. You learn about how gratitude, meditation, savoring work on your brain. You will be surprised by the effects of these behaviors on your emotional well being. You will see facts, statistics, numbers, and explanations about how important is to make an intentional effort to build our happiness.

Dr. Santos is an amazing teacher and more importantly an inspirational motivator. I really enjoyed her honesty and participation with us in the class. I would love to take more classes that she teaches online. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience that I hope is permanently life changing.

Sincerely

Nancy Turner

This course couldn't have come at a better time in my life. I was searching for meaning and striving to be happier. This course has guided me with lessons and strategies which will assist me well into the future. I feel like I could repeat it every ten weeks and it would be just as helpful and valid each time. Thank you!

Amazing course! Easy to follow and gives plenty of time to practice what it preaches. Not all that I learnt here was new to me, but somehow doing it in this structured way and really committing to incorporating these methods into my everyday life made a huge difference. I would definitely recommend this course to everyone.

Amazing and positive course. It gave me a different perspective on happiness and the research done to support everything about and around our happiness. We often take life and people around us for granted and forget how to be and stay happy. I'd be glad to take part in more projects from Yale University and by Dr. Santos.

I learn a lot through this course . Sincely i not good at English and feel a little bit hard to understand this course. But any way i still complete this thanks to the proffessol Laurie Santos. I think happyness is the essensal of the life and everybody deserve to have it. Thanks for your team of Yale and Coursera so much.

I found the course quite enlightening. Laurie Santos was an excellent lecturer. The integration of video lectures, interactive talks with Yale students, and practical exercises brought the concepts to life. The course provided me with the tools to integrate what we learned and make lifestyle changes towards a happier life.

I’m really satisfied with the overall experience, I’m really glad and feel lucky that I found and decided to join this course. Everything I’ve learned from this course is very helpful. I like all the ideas and the strategies that they taught me. I can see my happiness, self-discipline have been trending higher over time.

The Course journey was really fabulous. When we have growth and positive mind sets we can do the things. We can shape our environment to get rid of negativity. i am feeling extremely good now as i am doing the things that were very much fascinating to me.

A big thanks to Prof. Santos and Coursera for this lovely course.

If i put in the honest effort to rewire, and made a concerted effort to alter my daily routine, things changed. This WORKS and has reminded me to take the time to savor life... it is the journey, indeed. This reminds us of the science behind how we travel the journey. Well worth the effort. Thanks for sharing, Coursera!

Actually, I am really grateful and proud of doing the course. I feel grateful that I could have the opportunity to learn about a great topic from someone who has become an expert on it. I feel proud of myself for keeping going and finishing being a better person or at least a more conscious one than I was before doing it.

I loved this course. Laurie was a great online tutor. The course was flexible and fitted into the time I had available and was broken down into manageable sections. I will certainly be implementing what I have learnt over the last 10 weeks and I have already told my friends about the course and suggested they look it up.

A great course for anyone who is interested in finding out how to claim the most out of their life. It can be taken at any stage of learning. For someone who coaches others on how to find joy in their every day lives, it is great to get some scientific knowledge to back up the intrinsic and intuitve areas of my teachings.

Lorrie is an amazing teacher who fully involved herself in the practise of this course as much as us students. I found the information and lectures to be very helpful to understand the way the brain works and why it works in the control of our minds. How and why we have these thoughts, feelings, bad days, depression, etc.

I took this course with my son (a high school sophomore) and found it really valuable. Not just the lectures, student Q&A and assignments but the dialog we had together. The day he hit 'pause' on a lecture to initiate one of those conversations made me realize he was really taking the information he was learning to heart.

The learning format was new to me. I was able to work on my own and the course/assignments were fitting my expectations. I learned new concepts and techniques that I intend to use throughout my life. I have been happier overall and my family have even taken notice. I would have to say that this course is a success for me.

Professor Laurie really helps me demystify what makes up happier and how brain tricks me to things that don't make me happy. I appreciate her efforts to make this course and Yale to make it free for everyone to learn. I'm continue practicing techniques I learned from this course and hope my peace of mind is always with me

Its an awesome course and I believe that everyone who wants his/her life happy, contented, have a set goal, thinks positively and sees good around himself will learn to be successful in life as he/she has purpose to live a healthy life free from negative things. Thanks to Ms Laurie Santos for giving purpose to our lives.

The material presented in the course is great, true to human wisdom and re-wirement challenges are designed to increase overall well-being with our consent. I find great relief in fact that we've got problems, but the solutions are also with us. We have to act in the right direction which are shown throughout the course.

One of the most powerful trainings that I consider essential knowledge and understanding for everyone, especially in the current stressful world. the trainer provided the course smoothly and easily.

I enjoyed attending this course and highly recommended it to all (students, employees, managers, people in the home, etc.)

Life-changing. My happiness scores went up 29% and 41%. Take your time and do NOT rush through this course - really let the contents sink in, and even read the articles mentioend if you can. This was one of if not the best investments of time I made in 2022. I will use the contents I learned here for the rest of my life.
