I loved this course. Laurie was a great online tutor. The course was flexible and fitted into the time I had available and was broken down into manageable sections. I will certainly be implementing what I have learnt over the last 10 weeks and I have already told my friends about the course and suggested they look it up.

A great course for anyone who is interested in finding out how to claim the most out of their life. It can be taken at any stage of learning. For someone who coaches others on how to find joy in their every day lives, it is great to get some scientific knowledge to back up the intrinsic and intuitve areas of my teachings.

Lorrie is an amazing teacher who fully involved herself in the practise of this course as much as us students. I found the information and lectures to be very helpful to understand the way the brain works and why it works in the control of our minds. How and why we have these thoughts, feelings, bad days, depression, etc.

I took this course with my son (a high school sophomore) and found it really valuable. Not just the lectures, student Q&A and assignments but the dialog we had together. The day he hit 'pause' on a lecture to initiate one of those conversations made me realize he was really taking the information he was learning to heart.

The learning format was new to me. I was able to work on my own and the course/assignments were fitting my expectations. I learned new concepts and techniques that I intend to use throughout my life. I have been happier overall and my family have even taken notice. I would have to say that this course is a success for me.

Professor Laurie really helps me demystify what makes up happier and how brain tricks me to things that don't make me happy. I appreciate her efforts to make this course and Yale to make it free for everyone to learn. I'm continue practicing techniques I learned from this course and hope my peace of mind is always with me

Its an awesome course and I believe that everyone who wants his/her life happy, contented, have a set goal, thinks positively and sees good around himself will learn to be successful in life as he/she has purpose to live a healthy life free from negative things. Thanks to Ms Laurie Santos for giving purpose to our lives.

The material presented in the course is great, true to human wisdom and re-wirement challenges are designed to increase overall well-being with our consent. I find great relief in fact that we've got problems, but the solutions are also with us. We have to act in the right direction which are shown throughout the course.

One of the most powerful trainings that I consider essential knowledge and understanding for everyone, especially in the current stressful world. the trainer provided the course smoothly and easily.

I enjoyed attending this course and highly recommended it to all (students, employees, managers, people in the home, etc.)

Life-changing. My happiness scores went up 29% and 41%. Take your time and do NOT rush through this course - really let the contents sink in, and even read the articles mentioend if you can. This was one of if not the best investments of time I made in 2022. I will use the contents I learned here for the rest of my life.

excelente curso lo recomiendo ampliamente desde el principio considero que el curso es dinamico y ofrece herramientas que realmente te llevan a aumentar tus niveles de felicidad . una felicitacion enorme a Laurie Santos y a todo el equipo que hizo posible este curso , creo que mucha gente lo necesita y deberia tomarlo

I really enjoy this course. It helpe me to put my life and priorities in perspective. Also I can honestly say that my happiness and well being was boosted by just learning about the strategies to increse them, more over, when I committed to do them, it radically change a lot of my mindset. I will definitly take it again.

This course has given me an insight on The Science of Well-Being, proven facts, ideologies and helpful tools that I can apply in my daily life to change my behavior and adapt new habits. Am glad I did the assignments because they provided me with the structure I needed to continue working on my own habits and well-being.

This course helped me a lot. First it help me to decide what I want to study, confirmed that what I am really passionate about is psychology. Secondly, it helped me to undertand how my mind may be fooling me day by day. Finally, it gave me a lot of tips and techniques to control myself and be happier.

Thank you very much.

The layout and pace of this course is wonderfully thought out, with the added layer of being able to go at my own pace should something come up in my life. It has been an amazing look into how to balance my life and care for myself in order to bring that balance and happiness to the people I love and the tasks that I do.

This course was well worth the time. Learning the science behind the happiness was much more that just believing in the power of positive thinking. This course really taught you what we think will make us happy and what actually does make us happy. Professor Santos is wonderful and i am listening to her podcasts also.

It's one thing to know that certain things might make you feel happy, and by extension make your relationships with others around you better, but it's another thing to see and hear the research behind how all of it works. And that it really does work. I loved this course and am so glad that I spent the time to take it!

Excelente, recomendado para todas las edades, en especial para los que ya estamos jubilados porque nos permite evaluar si nuestro estilo y calidad de vida que estamos llevando nos está brindando bienestar y felicidad o sino aquí en este curso vamos a aprender a encontrar métodos sencillos que van a llevar a conseguirlos

This course made me realize that the source of happiness is within me only and staying positive is the key to boost happiness. It provided me with insights in my life and gave me a sense of direction and helped me to view my life and the world in much more holistic manner.Thank you Dr. Laurie Santos. Thank you Coursera.

I very much appreciated this course and it helped me during the pandemic to have something positive to focus on. I also learned some valuable tools that I have already started implementing in my daily routine. I appreciated you offering this course to me and am grateful to have had the opportunity to take it! Thank you!

One of the best personal development courses, I have ever taken. I've already seen so many benefits of the course. We enjoyed the videos a lot . We love the way the professor talks and explains the lectures. She is very sweet, knowledgeable and passionate about what she teaches. I feel like she became our new friend.

Thank you Professor Laurie for an excellent course. It was so well structured with extensive research to support the video clips. Every weekly topic came with information that was relevant and thought provoking. I learnt so much from this course and have been able to use the ideas to generate well being in my own life.

Excellent course that blend the knowledgment side and the practice of skills to increse our well-being and happiness.

This course has helped me to increse my perception of well-being, usig meditation, sleeping properly more than 7 hours every day anf focus my attention in savoring the good things that I have in my life.

I found this course very enjoyable. Professor Santos gives some useful pieces of advice to live a better life, strategies which were given are very useful, I think everyone would be pleased by the straordinarie effects of those tips after a while spent exercising your daily routine, your body, but especially your mind!

It was great to take time to focus on the things that are really important in our lives. Those things that sometimes we don't allow ourselves to acknowledge and that we usually take for granted.

Doing the course during the pandemic helped me look at the situation form another perspective and it helped me stay positive.
