This was much more in depth than I expected, and had a far greater impact on my own wellbeing too. It is accessible for a range of learners, but the additional reading material (which you do not HAVE to do) can go into much more depth for those who are more academically minded. Well worth the time.

It is an absolute brilliant course, it really improved my life in a tremendous way, an incredible revelation for me was when they talked about goal setting and specifically the WOOP technique, I never imagined how goal setting was so much related to our well being. I highly recommend this course.

One of the best learning programs that I've seen.

This helped me immensely to be better equipped to get through the challenging covid period. Content is extremely rich and useful, well designed and Laurie Santos has a thriving and very nice delivery. I am truly grateful for this program! Thank you

I thought I had my priorities in life straight when I entered this course. Then I did an uh-oh. As I learned more and more of how our brain lies to us, I understood why the things that many people pursue as priorities in life really don't make them happy. This information will change your life...

Wonderful course adapted to a virtual environment. Like any course, the more you put in, the more you'll take away. This course taught me valuable information backed by data shared through storytelling. I recommend to anyone who is interested in the well-being, positive psych, yoga or mindfulness.

This was an excellent course, I'm so glad I took it. I am happy to have completed it, but am a little sorry it is over. It was great to learn practical ways to increase well-being. It absolutely worked, and during a global pandemic. What a gift! I encourage others to join future sessions.THANKS

I absolutely loved this course!! My level of happiness significantly increased and I feel peaceful, something I haven't felt for quite a while. I tried another course on happiness and it just doesn't compare to this one. Thank you for offering this to us at such a critical and unsure time in life!

Excellent course and very engaging teacher! Thank you Dr. Laurie Santos for providing an amazing class, tool and practical way to implement a new healthy habits for overall well-being. This class was extremely informative and I feel so grateful to be able to share what I have learned with others.

Overall it was good. It was also challenging. You CAN increase your own happiness, but you must work for it! Data from scientific studies presented is plentiful and compelling. Thanks to this class I've been successful in establishing a new habit of daily meditation, and plan to continue it!

This is an excellent course for the introduction to the science of well-being. The lectures are well presented, well researched and engaging. I have seen an improvement in my well-being and happiness over the ten weeks and have learned some invaluable skills to continue on my way. Highly recommend

Taking this course is not going to give you a silver bullet to happiness, or magically make you happier. What it will do is expose you to what is truly meaningful for a happy life and scientifically proven practices that, if you implement them and put in the work, can help you lead a happier life.

Great course that is not only practical but based on studies, not opinion. I will continue to dip into the content of this course as the reading and content will continue to be relevant. I recommend this to anyone of any age. You will definitely change for the better. Thanks Lori. Thanks Coursera

This is my very first course at Coursera and i'm so glad with it. Interesting topic and materials. And i hope i can really and continuously put the habits into practice consistently. Got so many views from the Course and thanks to Ms. Santos and Coursera. I've learned a lot and so grateful for it.

I am definitely not educated to Yale standard and was nervous to do a course that involved the like. I have to say that the course was done in a way where i felt confident and safe to learn and that I did. I have learnt skills that I aim to build further into my life as the days go on. thank you

This course was life-changing. I was struggling with anxiety and focus, and with this course I learned about these things as well as ways to combat them. I am a better person with the tools and information I've gathered. I (and everyone that has to deal with me regularly!) cannot thank you enough!

It was a really interesting and well structured course. It does give some helpful real life tips how to increase your overall well-being. I was quite surprised to find out some of the things I thought are straight forward to be different. Great experience with the course and I highly recommend it.

I loved this course. So much insight and at the same time logical. It actually surprised me how much more of a motivating factor it was in my changing my habits and mindset for the better. This should be a mandatory class in all schools. We'd save ourselves a lot of frustration and heartache!

A very good course to take any time- especially at the times of Corona lockdown. Engaging enough, entertaining enough, but with very good insights on how to be a happier person. Backup information and materials used were all very resourceful and relevant, spaced well to keep the interest going.

During this pandemic I do Thank you for this course. I chose to pay for it as I wanted the certificate to remind me why and that I am committing the WOOP theory in my everyday life! ! I loved your honesty and the people you had come in to speak. It is my first college ever and I am 59 yrs old.

Really great course content! It was also very easy to fit into my free time. This course doesn't require a lot of time from you, but it requires effort if you want to reap the benefit of the course. Super helpful in identifying why we aren't as happy as we want to be and what we can do to fix it!

This course was referred to me at exactly the right time in my life. Having gone through some heavy things nearly exactly last year, it helped me really dig down and pull out new lenses to examine life through. I would even do that again in the future to revisit these ideas of finding well-being.

This course was brilliant! I have made a lot of changes to my attitude and actions since the beginning of the course and it had made a significant impact on how I have dealt with the last few months in lockdown, which have been challenging. I will definitely continue with everything I've learned.

If you are needing a change in your life for the better I would 100% recommend this class to Every Single Person on this Planet!!! My life happiness has grown beyond anything I could have imagined when I began this course just 10 short weeks ago, I am truly thankful for everything I have learned!

I picked a couple of rewirements, gratitude and meditation. During Covid times, I feel like I’m doing better than most people I know. I’m not in a rush to get back out and be exposed to CV19 and I am also not diving into the end of a wine bottle. This class is one everybody should take right now.

Super course, with plenty of good tips on how to usefully manage our time and how to keep a good balance between private and work. Lots of good books and TED excerpts, some of them familiar, some of them a nice discovery. A big thank you to Laurie for sharing her knowledge throughout this course!
