Thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was practical, but also contained a good amount of academic robustness to make it very meaningful and informed. It certainly changed my views about happiness, what makes us happy as opposed to what we think makes us happy, and gave me the ammunition to make some evidence-based changes to the way I approach life. Thank you very much!

This was an excellent course! Professor Santos is a thoughtful and engaging speaker. The course had a great structure and balanced the presentation of research, supplemental reading and practical application (the rewirements) very well. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in improving their happiness and being more mindful about their day to day lives.

Me ha aportado mucho y enriquecerá mi trabajo como coach. Totalmente recomendable. Las clases muy amenas, el material muy interesante y abundante. Y pese a que el inglés no es mi lengua materna, gracias a la tecnología he podido realizarlo sin más limitaciones que las de estar continuamente usando un traductor, pero con la satisfacción de que valía la pena el esfuerzo.

This course is really eye-opening, interesting and challenging. This course is well thought and designed for everyone, the way it was presented as well as the strategies and studies included in the lectures are helpful. I encourage everyone to take it for self development. Thank you Dr. Laurie Santos and Coursera for your efforts in making this course available online.

An outstanding Course! It not only changes you from inside but, you start pinpointing what you have missed in life and you start fixing it than and there only. Changing a mindset is not an easy task, but, you can do it by doing this course. I would like to recommend it to each and every person on earth. The beautiful thing about the course is it fits with every stream.

What a great course. Focusing on well-being is so important. I loved the lectures and guest lectures. To review the studies and have them broken down was eye opening. It was so important to be able to apply what we were learning and measure the results after our rewrites. Reviewing what other students had done was really nice to do because we could share together.

This course changed my perspective on happiness. It taught me happiness is more in simple things we take for granted rather than the materialistic achievements. Meditation is now also an added bonus in my life thanks to the rewirement challenge. I want to thank our lecturer Professor Laurie Santos for making this course available online. I enjoyed every minute of it .

Fantastic and enlightening course that is all about how to empower and equip people with tools to achieve wellbeing and happiness. I enjoyed the fact that the course was broken up into small digestible chunks and I found the evidence based approach illuminating. I would thoroughly rate this to anyone looking to seek a better understanding of what really makes us happy.

This course came to my attention when I saw the newspaper headline "Yale's Most Popular Course Ever". I was really sceptical at first but I decided to try it because I sometimes like to try things that lie outside my usual scope, and with this one I really hit the jackpot. It's one of the most interesting classes I have ever taken. I strongly recommend it to everyone.

Excellent, it was very useful, applied to real life, concise, clear, easy to understand and very helpful for personal life. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn with magnificient professors supported by renowned universities and which I would never have been able to access if it were for the generosityand vision of two greats: Coursera and Yale University.

This was a phenomenal class with incredibly eye-opening material. It is not hard (material wise), but the implementation of the behavior changes are not easy. Professor Santos has the class paced out in a very logical way and it is very easy to continue on with the lessons, just out of pure interest in the material! I highly recommend this course to any and everybody.

The course helped me to get a lot more aware of what makes me happy. Its still a challenge to really practice what I learned, but I have it in mind and I come back to practice again and again. The course input is so professional and I tell people a lot about it. Thanks for offering that course!

But I did not yet get a Zertificate, please check this and send me. Thanks.

It enrolled out of curiosity and only to find out a few days later that the new school I am going to be a teacher at encouraged their community to enrol as well :-) It was a great course. I was always looking forward to find out what Laurie Santos would explain and tell us next. She is a great teacher and I really enjoyed just listening to her. I highly recommend it!!

The Science of Well-Being is an especially useful course to me as I was recently named the Pharmacy Residency Mentorship and Wellness Coordinator at the hospital I work at. I took this course hoping to develop the skills to improve my own happiness but also help the pharmacy residents. It was an incredibly thorough course and I am so thankful I found this opportunity.

I am first very hesitant to do the online course because I always think I don't have the time. but during the duration of the course, it made me realize, you make your time, just like any other activity that we have done-You choose to exercise, you choose to meditate, you choose to eat on time and healthy food and you choose to sleep on time. It is ALWAYS UP TO YOU.

I started the course as the pandemic was just beginning. Then our dear 14-year-old dog died, followed by our pet goat and my 28-year-old Arabian gelding who had been with me since he was two. The business I founded and ran since 1994 nearly failed. Through the loss, hardship, and challenge, this course offered tools that helped me cope and recover. I am... Grateful!

This is definitely one of my favourite courses here, on Coursera, and I would even say in life. I loved that it is not about just talking about positive benefits, but about doing things which can have a positive impact on our daily lives. Thank you very much, Professor Laurie Santos, for creating and spreading such an opportunity for students from all over the world!

Learned some really useful and practical strategies on having (and maintaining) the right outlook and mindset. Even if it was a recorded class, the instructor was engaging and her ability to present academic studies in a simple and straightforward manner so that even non-academics could learn and benefit is much appreciated.

Thank you for sharing this course with us!

I'm not exaggerating when I say this, this course is genuinely like a guidebook for how to live a better life. From socializing more, to how to have a good carrer and/or job, to how to make your relationships better, and much much more. Prof. Santos does an excellent job of presenting the data, and every single point is supported by science. Highly highly recommend!

I've absolutely loved this class and have recommended it to everyone I know. Professor Santos is so knowledgeable and engaging. The way the lectures and class was structed was easy to follow and effective too. I loved the balance of learning and putting that knowledge into practice. Thank you Yale University, Coursera, and Dr. Santos for a transformative course!

This course truly helped me gain skills in happiness, meditation, gratitude, savoring and recognizing my greatest strength. Aside from the learning experience keeps me grounded and positive during this pandemic, it was a therapeutic exercise for me of becoming happier. Thank you so much for this opportunity to have acquired a great tool of information on Well-being.

Laurie Santos is extremely engaging and made this course very easy to consume. The design of the course was really well done. Each week built upon one another and the weekly homework assignment to concentrate on a particular rewirement really made the course meaningful. I truly have learned a new way to look at everyday life and find meaning and joy. Thank you.

This course really helped me understand the fundamentals of tactical ways to help improve my overall well-being. Yes, it requires disciplined intentionally thinking to get there, but that is learned growth. I love that there aren't any magic tricks or gimmicks. This is data driven information that once applied can help someone really improve how they feel over time.

In a world where suicidal tendencies and anxiety attacks are alarmingly increasing, I would say that this course could be the turning point for people. I will seek to continue executing everything I have learned from here. Yes, executing (or performing), because knowing is not half the battle!

Thank you very much Prof. Laurie Santos! And thank you Yale and Coursera!

Absolutely loved this course, changed my perspective on happiness in a drastic way and I have seen its benefits in my life as well. Thank you so much for making this course.

What i most loved about this course is the citing various important studies and their conclusions on happiness.

This is a must course for anyone who just want to happy. Kudos to the instructor!!
