This course was extremely helpful. I wish I took this course freshman year of high school as I strongly believe it could have been even more impactful. Given the current environment, it's even more important to share these insightful findings and make it publicly known

So factual, so helpful, so unjudgmental. Ms. Santos was an expert at all of those and taught well, knowing that all of us would have a payoff of some sort if we stuck with it and did our rewirements. Thank you for this course - it helped lift the gloom of the pandemic.

Such an eye-opener, definitely a must take course by anyone who trusts empirical science. This course should be prioritized by people rather than just technical courses. I hope all of humanity looks at this, learns from this and transform themselves into better beings.

This course is a great guide for increasing happiness and satisfaction in one's life. It uses the latest scientific studies to support suggestions and guided activities to incorporate these into our daily life and make them habits we do without thinking going forward.

Really learnt a lot regarding how to increase your well-being. I feel that what makes this course convincing is the research studies shared throughout the course which reflects accurately the behaviour of people and how those behaviour affects happiness and well-being

I love this course! I am so grateful for taking this course and learning so much about gratitude, mindfulness, savoring, and healthful choices that impact my life. Schools in this country need to teach this to our young minds. (K-12) This should be a mandatory class.

This course was an eye opener foe me as I learned to focus on the positive, and that merely knowing something doesn’t mean we put something into practice. I enjoyed the evidence based lectures and retirement challenges to change my mindset and behaviors. Great course!
