I really enjoy this course. It helpe me to put my life and priorities in perspective. Also I can honestly say that my happiness and well being was boosted by just learning about the strategies to increse them, more over, when I committed to do them, it radically change a lot of my mindset. I will definitly take it again.

This course has given me an insight on The Science of Well-Being, proven facts, ideologies and helpful tools that I can apply in my daily life to change my behavior and adapt new habits. Am glad I did the assignments because they provided me with the structure I needed to continue working on my own habits and well-being.

This course helped me a lot. First it help me to decide what I want to study, confirmed that what I am really passionate about is psychology. Secondly, it helped me to undertand how my mind may be fooling me day by day. Finally, it gave me a lot of tips and techniques to control myself and be happier.

Thank you very much.

The layout and pace of this course is wonderfully thought out, with the added layer of being able to go at my own pace should something come up in my life. It has been an amazing look into how to balance my life and care for myself in order to bring that balance and happiness to the people I love and the tasks that I do.

This course was well worth the time. Learning the science behind the happiness was much more that just believing in the power of positive thinking. This course really taught you what we think will make us happy and what actually does make us happy. Professor Santos is wonderful and i am listening to her podcasts also.

It's one thing to know that certain things might make you feel happy, and by extension make your relationships with others around you better, but it's another thing to see and hear the research behind how all of it works. And that it really does work. I loved this course and am so glad that I spent the time to take it!

This course made me realize that the source of happiness is within me only and staying positive is the key to boost happiness. It provided me with insights in my life and gave me a sense of direction and helped me to view my life and the world in much more holistic manner.Thank you Dr. Laurie Santos. Thank you Coursera.

I very much appreciated this course and it helped me during the pandemic to have something positive to focus on. I also learned some valuable tools that I have already started implementing in my daily routine. I appreciated you offering this course to me and am grateful to have had the opportunity to take it! Thank you!

One of the best personal development courses, I have ever taken. I've already seen so many benefits of the course. We enjoyed the videos a lot . We love the way the professor talks and explains the lectures. She is very sweet, knowledgeable and passionate about what she teaches. I feel like she became our new friend.

Thank you Professor Laurie for an excellent course. It was so well structured with extensive research to support the video clips. Every weekly topic came with information that was relevant and thought provoking. I learnt so much from this course and have been able to use the ideas to generate well being in my own life.

Excellent course that blend the knowledgment side and the practice of skills to increse our well-being and happiness.

This course has helped me to increse my perception of well-being, usig meditation, sleeping properly more than 7 hours every day anf focus my attention in savoring the good things that I have in my life.

I found this course very enjoyable. Professor Santos gives some useful pieces of advice to live a better life, strategies which were given are very useful, I think everyone would be pleased by the straordinarie effects of those tips after a while spent exercising your daily routine, your body, but especially your mind!

It was great to take time to focus on the things that are really important in our lives. Those things that sometimes we don't allow ourselves to acknowledge and that we usually take for granted.

Doing the course during the pandemic helped me look at the situation form another perspective and it helped me stay positive.

This was a fantastic course, thank you for the opportunity. It would have been beneficial to see the rubric for the final assignment before having to submit it. Also, I found it hard to relay the information I wanted to in the amount of sentences it said to use, a couple more sentences for each one wold have been nice.

Loved the course and learnt so much about what is truly important to happiness. The timing was perfect given the COVID-19 pandemic. The forced locked down provided the space to really focus on my learnings from the course and implement changes to make my life happier going forward. Thank you so much Laurie and Yale!

This course is what got me through this very difficult time. I have learned so many new strategies for behavior modification through positive psychology that will stay with me forever. Thank you, Yale and Professor Santos , for offering this class at no cost! It has been incredibly eye-opening and well worth doing.

This course has been the best thing that could have happened to me, I never thought that it would be possible to achieve a positive impact in such a short time and that the solution to my problems was in me and I did not know it.

I begin to know how to enjoy every minute of my life.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY

Exceptional course. I've read many books on happiness and well-being, but none have had the same kind of positive impact on my life as this course. Teaching the science then giving specific assignments to put these known-to-work strategies into practice is an unbeatable combination. Couldn't recommend it more strongly.

I loved this course. It’s easy to do in small segments and Laurie is soooo interesting. I feel happy that I’ve already actually been doing most of the right things but I feel it’s increased my confidence and that discovering meditation and mindfulnessness has helped me to slow down yet achieve more. Thanks so much.

The course was very beneficial to me, I believe it should be taught not only to undergraduate students but also to High School students so they understand themselves more and are able to make educated decisions. I am 44 years and never understood myself as much as I did after completing the course.

Thank you very much!

Dr. Santos provided a fun and meaningful way to learn and try new strategies to help increase personal happiness. It's incredibly refreshing to have someone who is an educator letting us know that grades are really NOT the most important thing in the world. I wish she could've told me that before I finished college :)

Thank you for your foresight in teaching The Science of Well-Being!

Balance is needed and necessary to elevate the level of thought and access creative solutions to today's global and local events and personal relationships! All the best in your growth and journey!

Thank you,

Give yourself the gift of this priceless education :)

Thank you, thank you Dr. Santos & team, for allowing me to see through the rose-colored glasses again! You have both brightened and enhanced my perspective!

Absolutely amazing! The teacher was engaging, and the classroom setting made me feel as though I was really there. Everything we learned changed the way that I see the world and the vision of happiness that I had. It helped me realize what I really wanted, by understanding what happiness was first. I 100% recommend!

Hugely insightful and engaging course with a very broad range of material presented in an easy to understand and thought provoking way. The course encourages change and action without adding stress or anxiety that can often come with the feeling of having to do better. I thoroughly recommend this course for everyone!
