This course gave me exactly what I needed! Tips and knowledge on how to be a happier human being. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I will pay it forward in every way possible. I wish I had a professor like Laurie Santos when I was in University! Thank you!

I enjoyed the combination of theory and practical elements, which I think makes the learning more effective, A well organised course, enabling you to work in small blocks, and I enjoyed the variety of elements - quizzes, lectures, interviews, discussions.

I have truly enjoyed this course. I have learned valuable information that I can use in my daily life and in the pursuit of my own well-being and the path to being a better person. In finding my strengths, I now have many other ways to achieve happiness.

I really enjoyed this course. It covered many aspects that otherwise not many people would think of. It helped me identify what factors and practices in my life directly had an impact in my positive emotions. i would highly recommend this course to others.

I truly enjoyed every minute of this course. I have been practicing many things in my every day life that we touch on but I learned so much more about actually implementing them into my life better. I cannot reccomend this course any more highly than I do.

This course allowed me to explore new strategies for adapting the spread of happiness, fulfillment and kindness. It also taught me what is important and less important in terms of desire.

This course has brought me added value in my personal life.

Thank you.

The course was really great and insightful. I took the course at the perfect time. Thank you Professor Dr. Laurie Santos for bringing in the research in such a good way. I would like to thank Yale University as well.

Thanks!!

This is an excellent course, with great material and a great instructor. Everything is well-validated, and scholarly sources are provided. There are also a lot of suggestions for further reading that are aimed at the general public, rather than academics.

This is a fantastic course for anyone to do anytime however, in the current climate it is perfectly suited to help people navigate through the challenges of life. Highly recommended to be able to get some strategies to achieve some happiness in each day.

One of the best, if not the best course in Coursera. I am extremely grateful that this has been made available for everyone, especially during these challenging times. I hope it would help several people find happiness and well-being in their daily lives.

Great material! Explaining the science of happiness, showing the related studies and findings to support them then providing tools a person can use every day to make some changes, large and small to improve their overall happiness, set and achieve goals.

I encourage everyone to take this course. There are so many interesting facts, overview of studies and tips on how to implement what I learned that more than a course, it was an unforgettable experience. Thank You... I am looking forward to more courses.

so grateful to have the opportunity for personal growth and focus on well being during these uncertain times. I think there is nothing more important than being grateful and happy. This will help everyone champion over the adversities that come our way.

This was a great course that helped me understand that what I have always considered important for my happiness was actually not helping me feel happy at all. I encourage others to take this course and find out what they can do to improve their happiness.

Lovely course taught by Ms Laurie. She taught us and reminded us that sometimes the best way to feel better is to have goals that you can manage working towards, how sleep is important to our well being and lots more. Definitely worth tsaking this course.

New to Coursera, New to online leaning. Found this class in a LinkedIn post and registered for it that day. I really enjoyed to robustness of the content and how well facilitated the entire experience was. Looking forward to enrolling in another class.

A great course packed with ideas, research and valuable tools for making positive changes in happiness levels. I am a 46 year old mother and I am studying to be a life coach. These skills will be valuable to my personal and professional life! Thank you!

This is a great class. Professor Santos is very engaging and she presents the information so well!!

I looked forward to my “class time.” I am a retired kindergarten teacher who wanted something to do during the winter months in Michigan! It was perfect.

Insightful and helpful. My overall feelings of well being have improved. Going forward I feel confident that I will practice my rewirement that I picked for the class. I also will practice gratitude daily, especially on the days when I feel a little down.

I can not be happier having taken this course. I have anxiety and the tools they gave me were wonderful! Aside from that...the instructor is so wonderful and easy to connect with even by computer! I would love one day to meet her in person to tell her.

Great course design in terms of structure, materials, expertise of speaker. Exercises support application and reflection, thus the learning circle (knowledge, application, feedback, reflection) is almost complete which is great considering this is a MOOC.

I recommend this course for anyone who would like to enrich his/her life. It provides enlightening information about the concept of "happiness" and research based strategies to create a healthy mindset. I will be recommending it to all of my colleagues.

This course has taught me to reevaluate my life. I am learning to enjoy my life and to be content where I am. I have also picked up techniques for making myself happy and I have understood what really helps to bring happiness and long lasting experiences

An excellent and provoking course. It'll push you out of your comfort zone. Packed with current scientific research and practical techniques to apply in your daily life long term.

I feel very privileged to have learned these skills so early on in my life.

Great information on what really brings people happiness and how to pursue it. I like the various speakers, as wall as Professor Santos. There are really only 6 weeks of learning and then 4 weeks to practice what you learn. Highly recommend to anyone!
