This course was really useful for me. I have gained so much insight into my own well being that I can pass it on to others. Being an educator, I think , I can use the concepts of nudging, savoring and WOOP with my students. In schools, we concentrate on imparting knowledge to our kids, but we don't teach them to be happy. Thanks Prof. Santos.

Aside from being a Yale course, this is very practical at this time of the pandemic when my mental health had suffered even when I couldn't find the stressor. It is interesting to note that there is a science behing happiness and achieving real happiness is not that hard. I am particularly interested with all the research studies mentioned.

Fantastic way to improve how you look at the "small" things in life, that actually makes you happy. I think everyone should attend this course. Thank you for the Professor too, she is just as cool as I remember all my Profs from the time I studied Psychology. What is it about Psychologyst?:)Really recommend it. Thank you for the opportunity!

This course enlightened me on searching for meanings for life to become a truly happy person and further offer instructions towards next step. In addition, I connected with other people who also searching for happiness of life and join their communities. The skills and cognition I gained here are really helpful towards my self-actualization.

Grateful to have taken this course during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was full of research based information that supported activities to help with well-being. My favorite part was meeting via Zoom with a group we created of family members ages 28 to 78 who took the course with me. We discussed our rewirement activities and the weekly content.

The instructor delivers great material and is a pleasure to listen to. I was hesitant going into a course that would reflect on my own well being, but was extremely impressed by the course content and impact it had on my life during the length of the course! I will be moving forward not only with course material but further Coursera classes.

This is a wonderful course that will show you life skills for adopting healthy habits as well as the scientific reasoning behind them. I found the lectures and assignments very engaging and unlike some courses where it is hard to make the time to sign in and complete work, I actually looked forward to spending time on the course each week.

I think this is a course all should take to really understand what does it mean to be very happy, really happy, to know the real happiness. It's a b2/c1 level in my opinion, while during this in fact I've made a certification that I passed. If you want to know something about how boost your happiness, well this is the right place. Enjoy it!

This a very nice course. It shows us what science understand about happiness and how we can improve it in our daily routine. Dr. Laurie Santos has a very nice didactic way of expressing research results on the topic and making them easy to us to understand and apply. Thank you very much for this opportunity. I appreciate each moment of it.

Really helped with my mental well being. Helped me reevaluate my priorities and helped me refocus my goals. I learned how to ween myself off social media and using it as a tool for giving my life value. Really great course for learning your strengths, putting them into practice, and rewiring your mind to incorporate these into our lives.

I would recommend this class for everyone. It really helps to focus on what's important. I started becoming more social by talking to strangers and reconnecting with friends. It's really helped me to feel more powerful which was a great side effect to working on happiness. Meditating every day has allowed me to be more patient and calm.

Excellent! I would recommend this course to anyone at any age. All the concepts are very applicable to every day life! This course beats any workshop or self-help book, I learned more than I thought I would. The teacher is down to earth and easy to understand. This course has helped me improve my life and outlook in awesome ways! Thank you!

This course significantly helped me improve my overall well being and general happiness. I was struggling with mood swings, depression, anxiety, and low self esteem. After taking this course, I feel like I have the tools to manage my happiness and well-being and I have created several new habits that have impacted my life for the better.

"I did the course in September 2020 and I really found the experience excellent. I never thought that in a few weeks so much could be learned. Amazing. Thanks to the professionalism of the teacher I not only obtained a certificate, but also a change in my quality of Therefore, the course is highly recommended.Thank you, Dr. Laurie Santos "

The Science of Well Being, as taught by Laurie Santos, was a truly engaging course in which I have already seen the many benefits from. I would encourage everyone to take this course. Not only will individuals profit from the many practices it outlines but, the overall well being of those they encounter could be impactfully unquantifiable.

This course is life changing! It is an incredible way to learn how to shift the focus in your life onto things that will truly impact your happiness. Professor Santos is an amazing, engaging leader. The knowledge and tools from the course are ones that will be applicable throughout your life. I will be forever grateful for this experience!

Great course, with quality content. Very easy to keep up but even easier to implement the happiness practices. Highly recommend this! It was a breeze to complete during the quarantine and it helped me focus on an Abundance or Growth Mindset as opposed to a fixed or scarcity mindset in the middle of this pandemic and global economic crisis.

Awesome! I started by taking this class and now actually sharing it with friends and family.

Also, I'm a high school teacher and I'm actually virtually offering this course to some of the students at my school and they love it.

Thanks for this, it's made me a happier person, of late, I hope the lessons will stick with me for the long term.

Thank you for the opportunity to take your course. I think I could summarize my particular take away... Ruby slippers in the wizard of OZ (when the good witch says "you always had the power to go home". .. Happiness is always there within you, you just need to become aware of it...

Thank you and wishing you a wonderful summer.

Really enjoyed the course although getting peer review is a little tough looking at what others have done, said and achieved so far, yet without it you will have only a 99% course complete.

Laurie's knowledge and pure enjoyment of teaching this is brilliant and infectious. More should do the course, especially in this time of social media.

Ha Ha! I know that we can't force folks to take this course however, imagine the possibilities of helping more folks create a sense of well-being, happiness, power and control. In learning to implement these strategies and learning the science behind some of our poor choices we can create a more peaceful community and world! MANY thanks !

Laurie Santos single handedly charted this entire course with enormous concepts beginning with Happiness, Perma and concluding with WOOP creator Gabrielle. Salutations to Professor Laurie.Conceptual overview was phenomenal and answering tests and quiz too were challenging and of highest order. A truly enriching life time learning program.

Laurie is such a knowledgeable and likable professor. Learned so much and this course has already helped me become a better person, and become more content, in just a few months time. I have already recommended The Science of Well-Being to several friends, and will continue to do so whenever the opportunity arises. Thanks so much, Laurie!

You need this class! It will open your eyes and heart to really consider what you really want in life. All the things that society tells us are important usually aren't so and research can prove it! This class will make you reconsider how you live and give you the tools to make your life a meaningful one. Try it, you have nothing to lose.

I can truly say that this course has solidified my previous healthy habits and reinforced them with research based evidence. Plus, I have developed a new habit of social connections that has truly made my life happier. I'm so glad this course came into my realm of experience. I will be forever grateful for what it has added to my life.
