This course helped me go from a feeling of apathy to a more hopeful outlook. I went from disparaging over my current circumstances to actively making change in my work, my education, and my daily mental health practices.

A really wonderful course, and really wonderful professor. I am truly thankful to Prof. Laurie. She really knows what she is doing, and I subscribed to coursera only because of her. She heavily influenced me and my life.

I learned so much doing this course! I really enjoyed it! I wish I had more time to "savour" the lectures! I will definitely do it again in the near future! My favourite part: offering several tools + scientific evidence

This course came at the perfect time in my life. I had just lost my job of almost 20 years and Covid 19 prevented me of going pretty much anywhere! It made me realize that I'm in charge of my happiness, not the universe!

I found the scientifically backed data about what actually improves our well being very interesting and it made me reflect on what I currently do versus what I could change or implement to increase my overall well being.

I took this course on a whim to fill the days of being stuck at home during COVID 19, but it became a very important way to find out what causes us to be happy, and more importantly, what does not. I've learned a lot.

Laurie was amazing. She was easy to understand, presented material that could be hard to stay focused on very entertaining and everything she talked about, it was like she was teaching about 'what not to do' in my life!
