This course has actually increased my happiness score from 5,7/10 to 8,1/10!

I recommend it to anyone who wants to become aware of the science behind happiness, and control their own wellbeing, rather than letting it be determined by the external factors

Loved it. Even when I was not sure about some topics or conclusions, I was excited to learn more and expand on them weekly to get a better sense of the big picture. Also learned so many valuable perspectives & skills to use for life. Thank you Dr Santos!

The course will help you understand your perspective on happiness and wellbeing, challenge it and find ways to induct the right kind of happiness in your life. It changed my perspective on a lot of things. Definitely one of the best courses i have taken.

I have learned much about myself and human psyche. Plus, have adapted new positive habits towards living a fulfilling and joyous life. Thank you to Dr. Santos and Yale University for the gift of happiness and gratitude. Muchas Gracias. Much love to you.

I have been raving about this course to anyone who will listen while doing it.

The science is well explained and the activities help you to apply the science and see for yourself how it works for you.

I will continue to recommend this course! Thank you :)

Amazing course! The professor was outstanding. The content was so engaging. I learned so much about the Science of Well-Being. I wish I had this class when I was in college. Highly recommend taking this class. So much valuable information to use in life.

Not only does it focus on comprehensive coverage on all technical skills or action item suggestions, but it also provides theory analysis, and there is a 4-week rewire challenge at the end to help you actually make some changes, make a move in your life.

Great course on the science of well-being. clearly structured with lots of scientific data being presented. and very practical too: the last four weeks is about chosing a rewirement, making a habit out of it and reflecting on the progress. reccommended!

Excellent course. It did increase my personal wellbeing. I really liked the lecturer and the way she delivered the course. The literature she referenced is very current and widely sourced. There is a bit of homework each week which I found enjoyable.

I loved this course and am very grateful that I was able to take it. Laurie Santos is an excellent teacher, the course is quite well structured, with very complete content, and above all with teachings that are the basis for a happy and satisfying life.

Amazing! I heard Dr.Santos from my professor Dr.Schachner at UCSD, she was working as an RA in Dr.Santos's lab back in college at Yale, and I googled and find this happiness class in Coursera...I will rewatch those lecture again, and take some notes :)

Thank you for everything. I really enjoyed every minute. I have learned so much and really recommend it to everybody. Super interesting course with an awesome professor. So sad it is finished after 10 weeks but the impact will hopefully last forever!!!!

What a great and insightful course! Everything is clear and direct to the point. The professor is very engaging, well-spoken, and very knowledgeable. The lessons are easy to follow, and the assigments are relevant to the topic. I recommend it to anyone.

I absolutely loved this course and I think that I can say that with clear objectivity in that the course material was well organized, the lessons were all relevant, and the perspectives offered were broad enough to cover what bases needed to be covered.

I enjoyed the course because it helped me understand so many misconceptions about being happy and satisfied with YOUR life and not comparing it to someone else's life. Always find ways to be grateful for what you do have have instead of what is missing.

Choosing to take this course during this tough time was one of the best decisions I've made. If I wasn't practicing gratitude and mindfulness my stress levels would have skyrocketed. I'm very appreciative of this course. The insight gained is priceless.

Amazing course, and loved every lecture, reading material and video. Definitely one of the best courses I ever took. I feel like doing it again, because listening to Laurie and her students just helps you remember good habits for an improved well being.

I could not recommend this course more. Even as a young teenager, I have learned so much about myself and how to make healthy habits that benefit myself. Everyone from pre-teens to elders should check out this course; there is always something to learn.

The course was interesting, I got a lot of great ideas for better well being, I will use them in the future. I loved the teacher easy to understand, honest and she seemed very friendly. I really enjoyed this class. I would take more courses she teaches.

At a difficult and uncertain time with Coronavirus, this course has really helped me keep grounded. It is carefully researched, interesting and well presented, very well structured and full of practical ways to make sure that happiness can touch us all.

This course gives you the information and tools to develop new habits to improve your well-being. It also helps realising and adding some value to what you already have in your life, which is sometimes taken for granted. I totally recommend this course.

Rey useful course. I decided to take it when self isolation started due to covid19. Articles are interesting. Personal evaluations on strengths and well being were useful. the 4 week assignment was also a good tool to reinforce the learning from class.

Many thanks for this course Dr Santos. It's always good keeping learning and even more in these challenging times.

My wife and I are really thankful for these teachings and we are doing Zumba hehe. Improving our relationship after 13 years been togeter.
