I found the material and the assignments to be highly valuable. In fact, I would recommend this course to just about anyone who isn't very happy with their life. I also really like the instructor and how the course integrates science backed findings.

Very well structured, and with lots of good information and helped me so far to understand how we work, and how we can do small changes that make us feel better daily.

Many Thanks Laurie, and Yale University, for sharing this knowledge with the world

I loved this course! I loved it because it re-enforced what I already knew but I also learned new things and I loved how studies and stats were used to demonstrate learnings.

I started this course at the beginning of the pandemic and I'm glad I did!

I think having a reminder or what they call a "check" in life is a gift and if one can get that it might reset their life and general outlook in a positive way. The course helped bring to light the things I needed to refocus on especially during C19

Professor Santos has the amazing ability to teach with a seemingly casual conversation that is rooted in studies and empirical data. Science plus a family discussion about our daily habits that contribute to a good life. Thank you, Professor Santos!

This class was both cool and informative. I can now do a guided meditation for over 20 minutes and I have my 15 year old daughter participating with me! How great is that ?!?!

Thank you as a person that suffers from PTSD this was so helpful.

Perfect course to tackle during a pandemic. The instructor has a very calm and sensible demeanor throughout. While many of the lessons may seem so obvious - you definitely question priorities and what you think makes you happy and what truly does.
