Great fun way of learning about personal thought processing, attitudes and well-being.
Very helpful course to get me to assess my life and how to make the changes I needed to improve my well-being.

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.

I really enjoyed this course and actually wished that it went more in-depth and were longer. I found the professor, Laurie Santos wonderful to listen to. She was clear and concise and made the subject interesting.

This is one great course that helped me a lot in the journey of understanding myself.
I hope the Q&A sections' voices from the students could be invested in further for raising the overall experience of the course.

Really interesting to learn about the theory of what makes us happy, as well as, behaviour change and then practical tips to actually put it into practice. The assignments were a great way to embed the learning.

Great course for the overall improvement of your life as a person. This is not going to help you improve your skills at work but it will definitely help you be more happy, positive, and stay away from depression.

This course is jam packed with a lot of cool science based facts. It'll help you learn how your mind works and if you are disciplined, you leave the course with a few additional "happiness" tools under your belt.

A topic and course that should be offered to High School and/or college students, maybe even eight grade. I took the course as a senior (in 70s) and found valuable, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic crisis.
