I enjoyed the course very much. The instructor was engaging and fun to listen to . She made listening to the lectures fun. These things that were brought up may be things we know but forget to take the time to look into and focus on. The reminders or different ways of looking at things are helpful insights.

This course was excellent. I really enjoyed learning and taking the happiness assessment at the beginning of the course and the end of the course and comparing the scores. My happiness score increased at the end. I learned so much about what we think makes us happy really does not to the extend we believe.

I could not adequately express the value of this course. I have been looking for a set of practical tools and understanding like this for many years. Laurie is a spectacular professor who makes science accessible and fun while introducing ideas that have been surprising at the least and valuable at the best!

Such a wonderful, insight course! I highly recommend it for anyone looking to think outside the box when it comes to happiness. The theories and research to back it up are excellent. Dr. Santos is an amazing professor, keeping the audience engaged and excited to learn. She's definitely a top-notch professor.

I highly recommend this course. Dr. Santos teaches concepts that are backed by scientific research and then gives opportunity to practice these concepts in daily life. I can only imagine if all parents were aware of this knowledge and raised their children to value these concepts. Our world would change.

Very well structured and presented course, but most of all, great insights in current positive psychology research accompanied by the opportunity of self-experience. Highly recommendable, thank your very much, I'd like to suggest a consecutive course - dreaming of it as free of charge as this one these days.

The course was fabulous!! I learned so much on how to apply the principles of happiness in such a practical way. I gained tools that will be very helpful throughout my life, and I am willing to continue to work on each of the rewirements to enhance my happiness.

Thank you Dr. Laurie Santos!!

This class was a great experience. I learned a lot about the science behind being happy, I also was provided with accurate research, tools and techniques that helped me to increase my happiness by "rewiring" and setting goals and changing my behavior to be happier in aspects of my life that are important.

This is a good course to take , i enjoy learning a method on how to adjust my behavior for a better life style and good teaching method too .I was so busy with work before that by now i realizes i miss out quite a lot .Thanks to this ,i now know what i miss and what to do about it too. Overall, good course !

Una experiencia que te permite ampliar la perspectiva de lo que es el bienestar, con el respaldo de la ciencia y con la aplicación de técnicas que realmente mejoran tus habilidades para gestionar tus emociones y tus objetivos, a la vez que mejoras tu salud y tu conexión con todas las personas de tu entorno.

Great course, so glad I did it! The course has given me good tools that will help me apply all the learning in my day to day life. The facilitator was so good and made the learning easy to understand and follow. All in all, I could actually feel my happiness quotient increasing as the progressed! Thank you!

Highly effective, using interviews, research findings and the professor's insightfulness in explaining well-being and the challenges to well-being. Such an effective program, I plan to take this again to develop other long term habits. This program of study was a definite stress-reducer for my daily life.

I was aware that well-being is a condition very difficult to have and to preserve, before I started this Coursera Course, offered by Yale University. Every single minute with Professor Laurie Santos was really an experience I will never forget. Thank you for the opportunity to attend this incredible course.

This is an incredible course and I would highly recommend it to anyone struggling with those feelings of 'not enough-ness' or general, ineffable malaise. Not only do you define what you really want, you also learn about why you want what you do -- and how to understand what will really make you feel better.

It provided me with very useful tools to improve my well-being as well as a very interesting information to be aware of. I think if I'm able to keep applying all I've learnt, I can really improve my well-being in a long term scenario and share want I've learn with me loved ones so they can benefit from too.

Excelente! It was a very valuable experience to change some behaviors that bothered me. I am now on a new journey towards maintaining these learnings. I take the opportunity to ask how how to get the certificate? I thank , Suzy Fleury / Psychologist / São Paulo / Brasil suzyfleury@academiaemocional.com.br

It was a wonderful course that kept me fully engaged. I was in the hospital with COVID while taking the course and I know it helped me be in a better place mentally. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone that wants to find a more positive, happier place in their life! Thank you for sharing!

Everyone wants to be HAPPY! This course is a tangible way to increase your happiness and also possibly the happiness of others too! I enjoyed learning about the scientific research along with the practical suggestions given. My life is happier, due in part to this class and my effort to use what I learned.

Laurie Santos has the easiest way to explain things better. She's such a good teacher, always was helpful and was able to solvee doubts and concerns about the topics revised it.

So glad she had this initiative, and more glad she decided to share with 1 million people around the world.

She's truly the best!!!

Thank you for your outstanding course! I thoroughly enjoyed your engaging teaching style and learning more about the science of well-being. Your interactive assignments helped with forming new habits!

I'm grateful to have had the chance to participate. Especially during these crazy times. Well done!!

This was a FANTASTIC experience for me! I think much of the increase in my well-being I owe to this course. I was a little worried of the months ahead when we were asked to shelter at home. These past 10 weeks have been the richest, most fulfilling weeks of my life.

Thank you Laurie Santos. You inspired me!

I really enjoyed the course and look forward to more from Dr. Santos. The design of the course was perfect and blended the video lectures, the research and the interviews. The rewirements were helpful and the additional readings were valuable. The quick quizes were clever added to the course. All good!

A very recommendable course! I have learned numerous strategies about how to implement (which) habits that lead to a happier and more satisfied life.

The science-backed theories are very helpful and insightful to understand the why's and also be able to explain to others.

Thank you for creating this course!

This a great course and keeps you engaged through out the course with the examples, exercises and quiz at various stages. Trainer has done a great job about creating the interest in the course. I am sure it is going to be of value in life and put in practice. I will be interested in Advance Course, if any.

Overall the experience was postive and enlightening. I think I got this and am more aware of the everyday environment around me. I think I will take a moment for me time and then start planning long term goals of enjoyment. Thank you to Laurie Stanos and her team. "Find a reason to smile everyday" :-)
