This was a great course especially to take during quarantine. My only difficulty was waiting in between the weeks for the rewirements as I wanted to move faster due to my boredom at home! But this was a very helpful class, a great way to spend my time and energy, and I have taken away the skill of meditation as a coping mechanism now and in the future.

This is a great course that's mostly self-paced but pushes you to finish in an allotted time. It's needed to learn and try new skills out from week to week. I didn't think my happiness would really change from taking an online course, but if you commit to making an effort, you'll see change and know this is just the starting point for even greater growth.

A little focused at first on 20 y/o college student problems... but push past that. The lessons are universal and can be applied to whatever might be going on in your life right now. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the course. DO the assignments of you want to positively affect your attitude, life and outlook. I am looking into further study as a result of this course.

I am boundlessly singing the praises of this course. It was just what I needed at a time when I needed it the most. I feel better prepared to take on the realities of my world and community. Thank you for lighting a fire underneath me and here's to continued work to change the world in any way I can! Thank you Dr. Laurie Santos and the Happiness Lab team!

The timing of this course being offered in 2020 with everything happening in the world could not have been more impeccable. I learned about a lot of mental tricks our mind plays on us that keeps us unhappy as well as many activities and methods that are very practical and help improve our lives. Everyone should make the time to take this wonderful course!

Really enjoyed the salient research presented along with the ways in which we can use this data to increase our self-awareness and empower us to make more satisfying decisions about life and lifestyle. This really has contributed to renewed habits to manage my own well-being and I am so grateful, particularly given the challenging Age of COVID. Thank you!

I can't say enough about The Science of Well-Being - when the time and mindset are on point, this course is life-changing. Totally unpretentious, non-threatening, easy to understand and just an all around string of "aha!" moments.

You have nothing to lose to take this class and everything to gain - so much more than you think.

Thank you, Professor Santos!

This course makes you realize that the biases that you learned about your happiness are nearly all wrong. you don't get devastated for weeks when you get a bad grade, you recover fast and strong. Also, you learn how to raise your happiness and how you can actually get yourself in check, strengthening your relationships with your peers, friends and family.

Well-being is science，I learned a lot from this course. It can be better by doing something like this course said, and put this theory and skills into practice, we can change our life, even we can't realise the changes, if we don't try, we'll never know it works or not. Keep this belief in the mind and hard, try to have a growth mindset, and just do it.

This is undoubtedly one of the most meaningful, most valuable courses I have ever taken, with or without a live professor, in any subject. This course should be mandated as a pre-requisite course - equivalent to Math, Science, English, or Social Studies -- in all High Schools, K12, Colleges, Universities, AND Corporate Learning systems in the world.

I have to say that the attitude of lecturer and her self-acceptance talks work on me well. I love that course! Each single units and the homework helped me to find and aware of myself and the attitudes of the self. It is a nice journey to be in. There are still ways to go for sure but at least I tried to join one of these journeys. Thanks for everything!

I think it is a fantastic course using positive psychology techniques and learnings to improve happiness and well-being. I learnt a host of practical tools and methods to improve and accomplish my goals and targets that I set for my well being. The course is a springboard to personal transformation and making this planet too a happy place because of you.

Originally I started taking this course because I know I have anxiety and once covid started I needed a huge distraction but once I really dig into the the course it actually has helped me decide on a new career path in mental health I loved it best course ever I think all schools schools be on online and I’m so excited I’ve always wanted to attend Yale

I entered this course a little unsure. Is it all going to meditation and positive mantras? Covid 19 and lockdown was taking a toll on my sense of wellbeing so I decided to give it a go, and I am so happy that I did. i have learned so much and have exited the course a much happier and more confident and emotionally resilient person. Highly recommended.

I have really enjoyed this 10 week course and feel that I have got so much from it! The content was really interesting and clearly presented. This course has sparked a real interest in this area of psychology for me and I would encourage anyone who is thinking about taking this course to give it a go because it has definitely improved my own well-being!

I'm really love this course because the teacher effort and focus in our well being, Isn't easy to makes the changes but is really necessary for our health and good moods, Love this course because they makes you effort to focus on your own well being. Thanks Prof. Laurie Santos for your course, I'm really proud about myself for taking this great course.

Many years ago, unbeknownst to me, I lost my flow. In losing my flow my life fell apart. Now that I understand how important flow is to putting together a happy more fulfilling life; I can begin putting the pieces of my life back together. All I can say is, "where were you, Ms. Santos, 20 years ago?" Thank you for helping me get my life back in order!

The course offers a good combination of theory and practices. I feel that when I tried to implement what I've learnt into my daily life. It has helped me a lot. I also feel that with some real life suggestions for having a happier lifestyle, I am more aware of whether I am doing something good for my overall well being and that helps me to be happier!

I took this course because I will be studying wellbeing in my PhD dissertation. What I didn't anticipate is that I benefited from this course even more when I was engaged, doing the rewirements and actively implementing wellbeing activities in my own life. I'm so glad I took this course, I think anyone who wants to make themselves happy should take it.

This course was amazing!! I thought Dr. Santos was so easy to listen to; so relatable. The on-line navigations through the course were easy to accomplish. I leaned many valuable life skills that I have, and will continue to incorporate into my life, and share with others. I very much enjoyed this course, and thank you for sharing this course so widely!

This course provided me with a clear understanding about the scientific study of well being. I was able to realize that certain aspects of life I thought brought me happiness were actually decreasing my level of happiness on a daily basis. I was able to learn how to change my thinking and I developed skills for implementing new activities into my life.

I loved this course! One thing I found especially amazing was how my opinions about it changed throughout. At first, I thought it was going to be cheesy instagram quotes on happiness and it wasn't that way at all!!! Thank you, Dr. Santos for sharing all this information with us and providing us with a real opportunity to make a difference in our lives!

The Science of Well Being and happiness is about living a fulfilled life. We all experience the good, bad and ugly of life. However if you know what really makes you happy and live life actively using that knowledge it will make the the journey a much more pleasant and beautiful experience. I want to live my BEST life starting right now where I am at.

This isn't like any happiness or motivational course which are plenty out there that keeps repeating motivational mantras and tell inspiring stories.

This course is science based which draws our human instincts and cognitive biases out to find how to make ourselves feel better. I really like that there are practical solutions and strategies to help us.

Amazing course! Everyone should take this course. It was so eye-opening, engaging and interesting. I learnt so much applicable information and I feel like I'm better able to show up in this world with the knowledge of ways that we sometimes get in our own way mentally and scientifically backed ways in which to overcome this and to be happy. Thank you!
