Real world applications for some pretty esoteric issues. Frankly, I'll be referring back to the content in this course to simply live a better life.

Excellent. Taught me that there is science behind happiness. I always talk about this to my family- my teenage daughters, girl scouts and friends.

The course is 5 stars. But coursera being buggy low key made it into a 3 or 4 star experience which sucks, but still an amazing course nonetheless.

Excellent content, presentation, professor and visual aids. Only one thought to offer - interviews can be useful but if too long lose their punch.
