This has been an extremely beneficial course and the way I approach life has fundamentally changed for the better, thank you so much for putting this course online for free so everyone can access this, especially during these sad times. I will carry what I have learned here with me forever. Thank you, Laurie!

I had an overall great experience with this course. The instructor was amzing and I appreciated all of the additional resources provided for continued success. SInce taking this course, I am a happy, healthier version of myself! I feel this should be a mandatory course for high school and/or college students.

Incredible opportunity for someone who's committed to living better and happier. The course is free and extremely well put together not to mention everything is backed up by solid research. Happiness is 100% achievable we were put on this earth to be happy! Don't hesitate just do it. You can thank me later :)

The Science of Well Being was challenging and incredibly practical which reinforced that daily actions to increase exercise, sleep, meditation, gratitude and savoring all experiences brings true fulfillment and an unshakable peace. The trick is maintaining the daily practice. It’s a journey One Day at a Time.

The best course I've taken so far. It changed my whole perception of life. I'm really grateful for having had the opportunity to take this course. I'm looking forward to see how i can improve and apply more deeply what i have learned. I don't think i will able to rate other course with 5 stars after this one.

Loved every bit of the course and needles to the say Prof Santos is amazing ! She made the course so interesting with the research data substantiating all the aspects. Whatever we learnt in the course has practical application and one can actually feel the benefit, if we keep practising :)

Thank you Coursera !

i highely recommend that anyone seeking to enhance their mental health and overall quality of life consider enrolling in the science of wellbeing course. The course offers insights and practical tools that can empower individuals to assume control of their well-being and flourish in all areas of their lives.

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.

**5 Stars** This course has been incredibly insightful and practical! It provided me with valuable tools and strategies for improving well-being through small, sustainable changes. The structure was easy to follow, and I appreciated the emphasis on scientific research behind each concept. Highly recommend!

This is a very important course. I believe it is a life skill course. It is very important for our present times of uncertainty and disruptive changes to learn as many life skills as we can. This course can help anyone to be mentally self-aware and disciplined in his way of thinking and relating. Thank you.

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
