I really enjoyed the course, I like all the evidence with the different studies and asking us ( the student) what we thought before getting the answers. Love watching all the videos and not having to do lots of reading (unless I wanted to know more).

I greatly enjoyed this course and I have learned valuable techniques and strategies that I will to use in my daily life. I feel more confident now that I have these tools and I am excited to continue to enhance my well-being and happiness! Thank you!!

This course will actually change your well being, even if you don't do the work. Knowledge is half the battle and you learn new ways to explore yourself to heal from within.

I reccomend this to anyone who is interested in human relations or self growth

Thanks professor so much for sharing with us such interesting information about well-being. My mind has much change in perception things like money, time...I learned what should do to improve my happiness. I think this course is valuable for everyone!

Wonderful Class. I have learned so much about what Happiness is really all about. The science behind authentic happiness is strong and awesome to ready about! The instructor was super, the class moved fast and was full of interesting topics! THANK YOU

I really liked this course. It was easy to follow. The professor was very sympathetic and did teach a lot in a fun way. The inclusion of the patten app and the practical assignments were a nice addition and helpful learning addition to the lectures.

Excellent format, flow and focus on mastery of material so the enjoyment of the course could actually result in a high grade with diligence and hard work. She is an excellent professor. I can only pray she will have more courses here in time to come.

Everything that is taught here makes you realize that there are small changes you can do in your daily life to improve your mood, your esteem, and to feel more productive and happy y general. It's a nice course, with a nice profesor and nice lessons.

Great course! Engaging and a great reminder for myself especially in my point in my life where I have finished undergrad, am working, and might think of going to school. I need to prioritize my well being before I go into anything big and monumental.

I loved this course. It is full of practical advice on how to increase your happiness and sense of well-being. I would have like to be told how to get a certificate at the end of the course though, as I've looked everywhere and can't seem to get one.

Loved this course! Thank you Yale and Coursera. The instructor is engaging and the lessons are easy to understand. It was nice that there are several studies to back up the science of happiness in people. Looking forward to similar courses like this!

I was blown away when I learned about the power of "reference points" -- this course has allowed me to recreate a better mindset for a happier life and actually take steps towards positive change. Loved this class and Professor Santos was so awesome.

Outstanding course! Loved the lectures, readings, and assignments. Really helped me learn about the important aspects of happiness, how to develop new habits, as well as maintain healthy happiness habits. Give yourself a gift and take this course.

This has been a brilliant learning experience and helped me find positivity during a global pandemic. The lecturer was absolutely great and so engaging. I've recommended this to so many already! Thank you for putting this into the world and for free!

I wish everyone I know could take the opportunity to take this course. I have recommended it to all of my loved ones. It has been such a positive influence on my well being during these challenging times. I continue to use it in every way! Thank you.

Bajo las circunstancias que vivimos COVID-19, me pareció una guía en mi, ya que te aclara la mayor parte de por que tu mente es como es, y ahorita necesitaba lidiar ahora mas que nunca, al estar en cuarentena, me encanta!, seguiré trabajando en ello.

Very interesting and insightful course. If you are looking for more happiness (or to understand the happiness that you already have/experience), then I recommend this course. It provides tools and guidance, and the format/course setup is fantastic!

Highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a supportive class to help make specific and consistent habit changes. Engaging content and professor. Fascinating discoveries especially if you've never taken a class on psychology/happiness before!

I LOVED this course! I learned so many ways to develop lasting positive habits and thought processes. This is a continual process (not a "one size fits all" approach) and gives me hope that I will be able to achieve and maintain authentic happiness.

Excellent course! It contained the right balance of background /scientific information and applicable exercise to bring it to life. I particularly appreciated the references and scientific basis-it helped me believe in the elements it was teaching.

We need more Laurie Santos in the world. I wish all education, organizational development and political systems were bolstered by the foundations and truths of our best selves encapsulated here. So much is at stake now.....this course was redemptive.

I was really impressed with the quality of this class. I've taken many online courses for grad credit, and didn't expect a 'free, certifcate' class to be as encompassing as it is. Glad I found this, Santos is engaging and a great presence. Thanks!

I found the material and the assignments to be highly valuable. In fact, I would recommend this course to just about anyone who isn't very happy with their life. I also really like the instructor and how the course integrates science backed findings.

FUE TODO UN RETO ESTE CURSO APRENDI MUCHO ACERCA DE MI, GRACIAS PROFESORA LAURA UNA GRAN MAESTRA. FUE UN POCO DIFICIL PORQUE SOLO HBALO ESPAÑOL, ME LLEVO MAS TIEMPO DEL ESPERADO PORQUE TENIA QUE TRADUCIR, PERO ME SIENTO AGRADECIDA. EXCELENTE CURSO.

Very well structured, and with lots of good information and helped me so far to understand how we work, and how we can do small changes that make us feel better daily.

Many Thanks Laurie, and Yale University, for sharing this knowledge with the world
