Great course design in terms of structure, materials, expertise of speaker. Exercises support application and reflection, thus the learning circle (knowledge, application, feedback, reflection) is almost complete which is great considering this is a MOOC.

I recommend this course for anyone who would like to enrich his/her life. It provides enlightening information about the concept of "happiness" and research based strategies to create a healthy mindset. I will be recommending it to all of my colleagues.

This course has taught me to reevaluate my life. I am learning to enjoy my life and to be content where I am. I have also picked up techniques for making myself happy and I have understood what really helps to bring happiness and long lasting experiences

An excellent and provoking course. It'll push you out of your comfort zone. Packed with current scientific research and practical techniques to apply in your daily life long term.

I feel very privileged to have learned these skills so early on in my life.

Great information on what really brings people happiness and how to pursue it. I like the various speakers, as wall as Professor Santos. There are really only 6 weeks of learning and then 4 weeks to practice what you learn. Highly recommend to anyone!

Really well-done course! Evidence-based, structured, entertaining, and what I find most important, with positive impact on my every-day life. I am looking forward to spreading the ideas further in my professional and private life. Thank you very much! ♥

This workshop helped me go back to what I have learned over the years but never used for myself. I used it to teach my consumer behavior seminars and my research but didn't make the link. Thank you for helping me make the link and rewire my happiness.

thank you for the wonderful learning and sharing. personally to Prof Laurie. I finally discovered some tips and tricks and proven methods of WOOP to increase my well being ! fantastic learning and so privileged to attend this course with YAle University!

I am happy to share that this course has shown me a straight path to meet my daily goals of exercise, social mixing, giving to others ,enjoying life and meditating. I have tried to club one with the other in my daily life . Thanks to the course director!

Thank you for the opportunity to study online at Yale, it was a pleasure to be Dr. Santos student. Great course, excellent instructor, friendly, and supporting classmates from all over the world, useful outcomes.

This course has actually increased my happiness score from 5,7/10 to 8,1/10!

I recommend it to anyone who wants to become aware of the science behind happiness, and control their own wellbeing, rather than letting it be determined by the external factors

Loved it. Even when I was not sure about some topics or conclusions, I was excited to learn more and expand on them weekly to get a better sense of the big picture. Also learned so many valuable perspectives & skills to use for life. Thank you Dr Santos!

The course will help you understand your perspective on happiness and wellbeing, challenge it and find ways to induct the right kind of happiness in your life. It changed my perspective on a lot of things. Definitely one of the best courses i have taken.

I have learned much about myself and human psyche. Plus, have adapted new positive habits towards living a fulfilling and joyous life. Thank you to Dr. Santos and Yale University for the gift of happiness and gratitude. Muchas Gracias. Much love to you.

I have been raving about this course to anyone who will listen while doing it.

The science is well explained and the activities help you to apply the science and see for yourself how it works for you.

I will continue to recommend this course! Thank you :)

Amazing course! The professor was outstanding. The content was so engaging. I learned so much about the Science of Well-Being. I wish I had this class when I was in college. Highly recommend taking this class. So much valuable information to use in life.

Not only does it focus on comprehensive coverage on all technical skills or action item suggestions, but it also provides theory analysis, and there is a 4-week rewire challenge at the end to help you actually make some changes, make a move in your life.

Great course on the science of well-being. clearly structured with lots of scientific data being presented. and very practical too: the last four weeks is about chosing a rewirement, making a habit out of it and reflecting on the progress. reccommended!

Excellent course. It did increase my personal wellbeing. I really liked the lecturer and the way she delivered the course. The literature she referenced is very current and widely sourced. There is a bit of homework each week which I found enjoyable.

I loved this course and am very grateful that I was able to take it. Laurie Santos is an excellent teacher, the course is quite well structured, with very complete content, and above all with teachings that are the basis for a happy and satisfying life.

Amazing! I heard Dr.Santos from my professor Dr.Schachner at UCSD, she was working as an RA in Dr.Santos's lab back in college at Yale, and I googled and find this happiness class in Coursera...I will rewatch those lecture again, and take some notes :)

Thank you for everything. I really enjoyed every minute. I have learned so much and really recommend it to everybody. Super interesting course with an awesome professor. So sad it is finished after 10 weeks but the impact will hopefully last forever!!!!

What a great and insightful course! Everything is clear and direct to the point. The professor is very engaging, well-spoken, and very knowledgeable. The lessons are easy to follow, and the assigments are relevant to the topic. I recommend it to anyone.

I absolutely loved this course and I think that I can say that with clear objectivity in that the course material was well organized, the lessons were all relevant, and the perspectives offered were broad enough to cover what bases needed to be covered.

I enjoyed the course because it helped me understand so many misconceptions about being happy and satisfied with YOUR life and not comparing it to someone else's life. Always find ways to be grateful for what you do have have instead of what is missing.
