This course is going to change your life for the better without doubt. The explanations made by the lecturer Laurie Santos are clear and easy to follow for everyone, even if you may not have a background in psychology. I absolutely recommend it if you feel like you need an improvement in your life.

I learned scientific study results that show the ways people can lead a happier life. The professor provided specific and practical ways to implement those in to my daily life. I was able to build a new habit to improve my well-being and my happiness score actually increased after taking the course.

I got so much out of this course. The information was structured and presented well and the techniques, tools and resources are timeless. It shows why the things we think will make us happy really won't, in the long run, and how anyone can increase their well-being starting right now. Thank you!!

I consider this course is much helpful for understanding how you can improve your life and how you can't. The course gives you all the necessary instruments and knowledge that can be used in your everyday life.
During the course, you can establish new habits that will be helpful for your well-being.

I thought the evidence presented in this class was compelling. I loved the structure. The 10 weeks at the outset was a little intimidating but the last 4 weeks are spent practicing a new 'rewiring' so it really allowed time for practicing a new habit. Wonderful class for all ages. Thank you!!!

This was an amazing course especially given the extremely challenging circumstances that we are all facing at the moment. It made me rethink a lot of the assumptions I had about what makes us happy and the retirements were a great demonstration of what can actually make us happier and more positive

I honestly did appreciate the guidance that this course provided me about building habits and following through with them, but what I found invaluable were some of the scientific studies we were provided access to, in my opinion proving that you can change change your outlook at least a little bit.

I really enjoyed taking this course. I was glad that it was offered for free, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take it. Everything that was taught each week was new to me. I will continue to work on the rewirement activities and put into practice the point about happiness and well being.

This class challenged how I "think" I need to be living my life. Making monumental changes is difficult, but it is presented in a way that shows how truly beneficial it can be with just a little specifically intentional effort. I will be using this information for the rest of my life. Great class!!

Excellent course! It was so interesting to break down what we feel will make us happier vs. what will actually make us happiest. The tools provided in the course are easy to implement and it's up to you to put in the work to get all of the benefits out of it you can. I highly recommend this course.

This was such a worthwhile course. I learned so much and was engaged throughout the ten week program. All of the videos and written information were beneficial and presented in such a way that facilitated learning and encouragement to continue. I have literally recommended it to everyone I know.

Excellent! I learned a lot about what makes (and what doesn't make!) people happy and I have started building healthy habits what will hopefully increase my happiness level further in the future. I really enjoyed the course and recommend it to everyone who is looking for improved life satisfaction.

This was much more in depth than I expected, and had a far greater impact on my own wellbeing too. It is accessible for a range of learners, but the additional reading material (which you do not HAVE to do) can go into much more depth for those who are more academically minded. Well worth the time.

It is an absolute brilliant course, it really improved my life in a tremendous way, an incredible revelation for me was when they talked about goal setting and specifically the WOOP technique, I never imagined how goal setting was so much related to our well being. I highly recommend this course.

I thought I had my priorities in life straight when I entered this course. Then I did an uh-oh. As I learned more and more of how our brain lies to us, I understood why the things that many people pursue as priorities in life really don't make them happy. This information will change your life...

Wonderful course adapted to a virtual environment. Like any course, the more you put in, the more you'll take away. This course taught me valuable information backed by data shared through storytelling. I recommend to anyone who is interested in the well-being, positive psych, yoga or mindfulness.
