This course is amazing!! Very easy to follow, pedagogical and the content is super relevant. As a PhD student studying well-being, it was great to have this review and to see how the scientific litterature can be used to improve our day to day well-being. Thank you for this great course!!

I learned interesting thing that i will definitely apply in the future. This course it help me to improve my happiness, an when i will not be happy i will know what to do, i will apply the strategies that i learned in this course. I learned that little things make the like more beautiful.

Specific and practical well-being ideas are presented clearly and concisely with reference to specific research studies. Prof Santos is an engaging lecturer and her learning materials are thoughtfully put together. I highly recommend this course for those new to the science of well-being.

I was at my lowest point with my mental health before starting this course. I genuinely believe I have learned how to start getting better by listening to these fun, interesting and insightful lectures, and applying the knowledge to my every day life. I definitely recommend it. Thank you!

THANK YOU for offering this class to the public - it has changed the way I understand how to achieve happiness in life. I've incorporated many new positive perspectives due to this course, and I will continue to use these strategies for the rest of my life. I am happier after taking this!

Excellent course. The instructor is very engaging and very knowledgable but also very down to earth and real life. The course is very well grounded in scientific research and has a lot of practical tips to make real life changes and to maintain those changes. Highly recommend this course.

This course was exactly what I needed during these trying times. It was educational, engaging, and challenging. It sounds like a simple concept but I took away so much from The Science of Well-Being and hope to continue to implement these new skills and knowledge into my everyday routine.

Great course that show you different ways to look at happiness -based on scientific research- also does give you great tools that you can start using in your life right away to be happier and more satisfied. It does teach you to be disciplined and be committed. Practice and all is coming.

This course was a perfect addition to my Health and Life Coach Certification program. I was able to apply the science, psychology and behavior aspects of the human brain to my practice and my everyday life. As a result my family noticed my mindset shift and better mood and energy levels.

What an amazing course. I have used some of these tools before taking the class, this just make me make more of a priority of the things that work for me. I am learning to not just be happy but happy with in myself and life. I have a great life and I sometimes let setbacks get in my way.

The course was excellent as it gave me insight into magnifying happiness. It kindled "Gratitude" in me and the same has become a habit now. Thanks to Coursera, the faculty of Yale university and the peers who interacted in discussions forums and also helped me in assessing my assignment.

This course was extremely helpful in so many ways that it makes it hard to describe, but the effects alone were well worth the effort of completing it. I have been more calm, grounded and feel healthier than I have in years. And because of this I want to send you a heartfelt "Thank You."

This course taught me new tools that I can use in daily situations on how to a positive version of myself. It reminded me of tools that I already learned throughout my academic career that I had set aside or forgotten and pushed me to understand the importance of savoring everyday life.

This course was fantastic from start to finish. The lectures were engaging, the material fascinating and the homework was useful! I got a lot out of everything this course offered and have recommended it to so many people as it has made a noticeable change in my life. Highly recommended.

I loved this course! I am working on healing after the death of my husband, and we are in the middle of a pandemic, protests and violent demonstrations. It was a great time to do this! The course did increase my happiness score dramatically. I'm feeling my energy, and joy in my life.

I am in the middle of this course and have already learned so much. The science is fascinating! Thank you so much for this information.

UPDATE: I have just completed this course and, WOW. Everyone needs to take this course just to navigate life a bit easier and with more information!

Es un curso excelente, me ayudó mucho a recordar algunas cosas de la felicidades que ya sabía, pero también me ayudó a aprender nuevas, como la falacia de GI Joe, que saber no es la mitad del camino. Agradezco mucho a la Dr. Lauri Santos por hacer esto posible y lo recomiendo muchísimo.

Amazing course to gain awareness about what happiness/well-being is and what helps to increase it and what actually doesn't help :) The course gave me a whole new perspective on well-being which helped me, my boyfriend, and my mother to boost our overall well-being.

Totally recommended!

Awesome course, it helped me to choose a better job for me, be more open and happy. I can't thank enough Dr. Laurie Santos for putting it together and making available for everyone. I were combining the course with reading "Getting things done" by D. Allen and these two go hand in hand.

This is an amazing course. Something that actually can bring a big and positive change in life. The instructor was amazing and i really wish I could meet her in person and thank her in person some day.Stay blessed All the people who are involved in this course especially our instructor.

Both practical and quickening. The Science of Well-Being begins with clear analyses on how the brain and the culture work against happiness. This is followed with clear guidance for rewiring. By the end of course, a student knows both the theory and practice of well-being and happiness.

I really enjoyed working through this course during the lockdown we had in New Zealand. I learned a lot! And signed up for a meditation course so I can continue to apply what I have learned. Thank you to Prof Laurie Santos and Yale for making this course available free through Coursera.

These courses are essential for al young people to take, I am fifty and wish these kinds of courses existed during my university years. They help you prepare for the future and help you deal with disappointment better. Life should not be taken so seriously, we all need to be happy more.

A fantastic course that did more than I expected - it not only taught me the data-supported science behind how to increase happiness but was also structured to support me to put the strategies into practice. A highly recommended course for anyone willing to invest in their well-being :)
