A course that everyone should take! Sometimes we think we know, until you go into details and search what the true meaning of Well being is... You could come out of this course a different person, happier for sure!

A great course to take with friends and truly consider – and re-consider – our routes to happiness. I'm so glad we experienced this and the teachings of Laurie Santos from a distance. Thank you Coursera and Laurie!

Good online content! Most lessons are very focused on previous studies, but some videos include interviews with other prominents in the field. I was thankful that those were mixed in to switch up the video content.

I really learned a lot from this course and am grateful I had a chance to take the course. I hope to go back to the videos and rewirement exercises as a reminder well-being is a journey and not a final end - point.

Me encanto el curso. Es un resumen de muchos conceptos, (si uno está interesado en el el Wellnes), quizás ya los ha leído. El curso profundiza y reúne todos estos conceptos de una forma práctica teórica muy buena.

Absolutely loved it! Great mix of theory and practice. You can get out of the course as little or as much as you want... I plan on using everything I learned, little by little, to make a big difference in my life.
