A happy person by nature, I often feel discontented with life’s imperfections. I also have trouble recognizing why others are happy or unhappy. This course has opened my eyes to the science behind why we think the way we do and what we can do about it to achieve a better sense of well-being.

I have learned new ways to help me with my Well-Being. I want people to know if you try and make new habits they will work only if you allow them too. Yes, it is not easy to start new habits and you have to work on and be honest to yourself, but the outcome is worth the levels of Happiness.

This course provided great insight in how to improve and enjoy each moment. The course was well balanced with content that was smooth and readings that required thought and reflection. The course was well prepared and organized. I look forward to seeing the instructor in additional courses.

This course has been a fantastic gift to me. I am so pleased to have gotten to learn all these strategies and to have implemented them to life. I cannot wait to spread the learnings to my family, friends, co-workers and community and, especially, to live a happier and healthier life myself.

Absolutely loved this course. So much great information and active learning available. Professor Santos has an excellent demeanor and great presentation skills. The quizes were useful for having the information set in. This course has changed behaviours for my entire family. Thank you!

This course is so essential at this time & in this culture of uncertainty and unrest. Savoring as often as possible, taking time to enjoy special moments, the importance of mediation, exercise etc.. are so key to us all living are best lives. This course supplies the tools and the science.

An inspiring course. Thank you for making this availbale to a larger audience. I learnt a lot and look forward to reading more on the topics covered. I am specifically interested in the concept of Time affluence, the WOOP framework and the benefits of meditation.

Keep well and safe.

I loved this course. I took the full 10 weeks to complete it. I wanted it to truly make a difference in my life. I felt the best way to do that was to do the rewirement exercises in the way they were intended. I highly recommend taking this course if you want to change your outlook on life!

This course taught me a lot through the lectures, even the handouts allowed me to be much more organized. Overall this was a great and fun course and I saw much improvement of how happy I was from the beginning to the end of the course where it improved drastically from a low 2 to a high 9.

I really enjoyed the course. The literature research only to gather all these data would take up quite some time. The content of the course gives an interested person an extensive knowledge base to build on in the area. Audio & video could have been better, but not a deal-breaker, at all.

I truly enjoyed this course from Professor Laurie Santos, it was very interactive and she made it interesting. I greatly appreciate her time and all the effort she put into sharing her expertise and knowledge and honesty. I would take another course this way if offered. Awesome experience.

This course, as well the wonderful PE teacher who recommended do it to me, helped me take initiative in my physical well-being :)

I believe that one must take good care of themselves so that they can output maximum goodness into the world.

This has helped me make some of those good habits:)

This course was a super eye opener for me. Things l considered as source of happiness which turned out not to be was made known and reason behind why l could not find happiness. When l took the rewirement challenge, that brought me a lot of fulfillment. Thank you Professor Laurie Santos

A wonderful course in every aspect! Weekly sessions had great structures (plenty of reading material), rewirement challenge at the end made a huge difference, plus Professor Santos is a wonderful orator. Highly recommend this course! It'll change your perspectives on life in a great way!

I'm grateful that "The Science of Wellbeing" course was made available during this challenging time. Learning evidence-based approaches to improve well-being was so valuable, and I appreciated the course holding me accountable so I could put them into practice. Thanks to everyone involved!

This is one of the best courses I've done so far. Scientific data, clear and concise lectures together with weekly rewirements to do - it all works perfectly! I'm sad it's over, really. Helped me to actually improve my happiness scores which I didn't believe once I was starting the course.

Very muched satisfied , learned the way of looking in life andf others life as well , aiminng for something needs to prectised .Savoring , garatitıde and social connection benefits for long term. so much appriciated learning about the Woop ing , it will lighten my road in my lfe journey .

This course has really changed my thoughts and priorities in my life especially by making me more kind and compassionate. Now, I find happiness in small things, have less worries and can clearly achieve my goals without getting distracted. This course is a life-changer for people like me.

This course is amazing!! Very easy to follow, pedagogical and the content is super relevant. As a PhD student studying well-being, it was great to have this review and to see how the scientific litterature can be used to improve our day to day well-being. Thank you for this great course!!

I learned interesting thing that i will definitely apply in the future. This course it help me to improve my happiness, an when i will not be happy i will know what to do, i will apply the strategies that i learned in this course. I learned that little things make the like more beautiful.

Specific and practical well-being ideas are presented clearly and concisely with reference to specific research studies. Prof Santos is an engaging lecturer and her learning materials are thoughtfully put together. I highly recommend this course for those new to the science of well-being.

I was at my lowest point with my mental health before starting this course. I genuinely believe I have learned how to start getting better by listening to these fun, interesting and insightful lectures, and applying the knowledge to my every day life. I definitely recommend it. Thank you!

THANK YOU for offering this class to the public - it has changed the way I understand how to achieve happiness in life. I've incorporated many new positive perspectives due to this course, and I will continue to use these strategies for the rest of my life. I am happier after taking this!

Excellent course. The instructor is very engaging and very knowledgable but also very down to earth and real life. The course is very well grounded in scientific research and has a lot of practical tips to make real life changes and to maintain those changes. Highly recommend this course.

This course was exactly what I needed during these trying times. It was educational, engaging, and challenging. It sounds like a simple concept but I took away so much from The Science of Well-Being and hope to continue to implement these new skills and knowledge into my everyday routine.
