The course is very helpful in eradicating the fallacies that could take your mind to next level of depression. The course offers rewirements and surveys in order to push the happiness levels in human being and give ideas how to be a well being.

me gustó mucho el análisis científico de cuáles son las cosas que más bienestar y felicidad generan y que, la mayoría son muy sencillas y sobre todo, el sentir claramente como trabajando en ellas el nivel de bienestar se incrementa y se siente.

Everyone needs to take this course. People don't realize what actually makes them happy - this course will help you learn what does and how to efficiently implement it into your life. I'll probably do this course a few times throughout my life!

I really enjoyed this course. It has been a long time since I studied for a class or learned new techniques for happiness. This is also my first online class I ever took! It came at the right time to keep my mind off of the Covid 19 outbreak.

Really enjoyed the content of the course and how flexible it was to learn at my pace (which is slow), but also the rewirement challenges really have changed my feeling of happiness. Thanks Laurie, I wish I could take a class from you in person!

I found this course to be helpful and informative. Of course, as the instructor states, the challenge is in creating and maintaining the habits. Nevertheless, understanding why I feel the way I feel and how I can impact it was very empowering.

What an excellent course! If you feel you are at a low level of well-being, I really recommend this course to you. It helped me a lot through these two months. I do feel happier and more grateful for every small thing that happened in my life.

A great bite-sized course on the importance of well-being and how to achieve it! Good foundations laid first, after which real life applications can be layered on top. Recommend them to anyone who wishes to understand what it means to be well.
