I loved it and learned a lot. Majority of the learning weeks were during the quarantine period. Although we don't have real quarantine, here in Sweden, I believe it helped me to stay ''sane'', to reflect and focus on the present. What I have now and why should I be thankful of my life.

I'm also grateful for the possibility to take it for free.

Thanks, Yale!

Kind Regards,

I loved this course. It explains how are minds are wired for un-happiness in a very easy and engaging way. It also offers simple techniques that you can implement to raise your own happiness levels. Mine raised dramatically, by over 1 point on a 1-5 point scale (from 2.8 to 3.96). I also picked two of the techniques to include in my daily life. I would recommend this course to everyone.

On Coursera there are some great courses that I'd like to recommend for the high quality, intelligent and interesting narrative, structure and knowledge level The professor is great and his lectures are a pleasure to watch! The course is very well structured from easy to complex matters and has got many interesting examples.

Highly recommend to everyone interested in how the world works.

I started the course with a bit of skepticism. I was already a believer in the rewirements suggested in the course and had been practicing many of them already. I wanted to see how much scientific evidence existed out there, and the instructor did not disappoint! Practically every point made in the course is supported with evidence, true to the name of the course. Enjoyed it very much!!

I had heard a lot about this course, so decided to take it. One of my challenges is dealing with others who are NOT happy, so I not only learned some new ways of thinking, and doing things myself, but also got some helpful information to help me deal more effectively with the unhappiness in others. Interesting, informative, and leaves you wanting more! Perfect combination. Thanks!!

This course is informative and provides the philosophy and tools for not only what happiness and well-being is and is not, but also how to implement these tools and philosophies in your daily life. Everyone has the right to happiness and sometimes we need to make that journey intentional. This course would be helpful to anyone in any walk of life in starting and continuing that journey.

There is a lot you can learn from this course, I would recommend it to anyone who is feeling lost or having some anxiety because of life or just curious about what this is. Make the most out of it by committing to yourself and putting the rewirement in practice every week. It's like solving a puzzle where the puzzle is you and these are tools to make sense of all the individual pieces.

Best thing out there on the internet right now is this course! YOU WILL NOTICE A CHANGE AND IS TOTALLY WORTH IT. ENROL ENROL ENROL!!!! Dr. Laurie Santos is great in delivering her message in a way that is effective and easy to understand. You don't have to be a psych. student to understand the material in this course. I am so happy I took this course and recommend it to all my friends.

A truly essential course for everyone in our generation who was brought up with a definition of success far from the definition of happiness and well-being. Truly glad the Professor has chosen to work on an area of science so necessary for the well-being of us as a society. I hope to use the knowledge, insights, and habits formed during this course in many areas of my life. Thank you!

Loved this course. I qualified with a Bachelor of Counselling whilst completing this course and I found this training totally complemented and built on my existing knowledge and offered interesting intervention ideas for possible use with my future clients. I found the assessment was of great benefit to me personally and would recommend people put in the effort and take on this course.

This course was something I decided to take during the stay at home orders from our governor due to covid-19. I am a Realtor and in the state of Pennsylvania I am considered non essential. So after 32 years in the business I became unemployed. I found the course uplifting and informative. I have developed some habits through the course that will last a lifetime.. Stay healthy all.

Great course! I found the connection between science and well-being very helpful, and can absolutely suggest the course especially to people who are a little mind-heavy, who might want their data and their proof, before they accept that we can help ourselves and how we feel ;-)

Well presented by the professor, good video length and loads of interesting supplementing course reading.

Las herramientas que proporciona el curso son de mucha ayuda para mejorar el estado de ánimo. Me agradaron los ejemplos mostrados así como las estadísticas. A pocos días de empezar el curso comienzas a notar que puedes estar bien, sólo necesitas un cambio de rutina y llevar tus preocupaciones y concentración hacia lo que en verdad mejora tu felicidad y por lo tanto tu calidad de vida.

I really enjoyed the experience as a whole. I was always looking forward the classes and I was surprised to see all the data involved in the Well-Being/Hapiness research. That part was really important to see – in numbers – the impact of a change of behaviour in our well-being.

Especially during this pandemic, having learnt these little things really helped me go through the lockdown.

I absolutely loved this course! This is broken down in to manageable segments. Prof. Laurie Santos does a great job walking you through this course. I liked her style and way of explaining the concepts. The studies she incorporated were very supportive of the concepts. I found them very interesting and it was an overall enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this for everyone!

Thanks to Professor Laurie and her colleagues, it was a very enriching experience from a personal and professional point of view. I learned new concepts and changed some paradigms, I also discovered that I can make changes in my life and in my way of being, which contribute a lot to my sense of happiness and well-being.

There were 10 special weeks that I will always keep in my memory.

This is an amazing course and you will walk away with a new perspective on life! I really enjoyed the lectures and the reading materials provided. I am so excited to take the techniques I've learned and continue applying them to my life. I also feel like I have the ability to talk to others about the science of well-being and spread the word about how rewirement works. Thanks so much!

"This course changed my life!"

Thank you Prof. Santos for creating this material. I am one of the many people all around the world who is greatly impacted on the ideas and notions discussed. Truly a life-changing virtual encounter and will definitely share this good news to my family, friends and co-workers.

Wishing you all the best of luck on your life endeavor.

My dear teacher, I am so happy, It's amazing to find answers for my questions about my life, I am finding a way , a light, Thank' s so much. I live in Colombia, my country is marvellous but here I hadn't found anything for all my questions.

I think that the reason for being here in this world is being happy, to find the happiness, I am knowing the way, It is amazing for me. Thank you.

I am amazed to learn new traps of the mind. I thought I knew how to be happy, but after taking this course, I learned I need to learn a lot about especially about the annoying features of the mind. Ms. Santoz, your lectures were engaging, and I never get bored and learned a lot. I made notes, and I will review them when I need them. Thank you for teaching this course. It means a lot.

This course was so insightful and it was a thoroughly enriching experience. In times like these where depression has peaked all around the world, this course is an eye-opener and really compels us to focus on the little things and to value and savor them. Having recommended this course to everyone, I owe all the credit of a significant increment in my happiness levels to this course!

The combination of learning about the scientific results and applying them into my everyday life changed my perception of happiness and through the rewirement it did change my life. This might now sound quite 'big' yet it's true. I've struggled with mental and physical health problems and the course helped me change my views and it gave me a hands on structure for changing my habits.

I really love this course! It has my highest recommendation to anyone who’s interested in completing it. It made a big difference in my overall happiness and I love Dr. Santos! She is so well spoken and I really loved listening to her lectures. If you do the course the way it’s intended I believe you will truly benefit. You will definitely get out of it what you put into it and more!

Loved this course! So informative and empathizing the importance of practice of the happiness based on the science of happiness -positive psychology- Thanks to this course along with my personal counselor plus another psychologist's online program, I started feeling happy by practicing gratitude, kindness, and mindfulness. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to live a good life.

This course has changed me. I have understood myself better, and the nature of wellbeing better. I found this course at an important time in my life and it has helped me heal more efficiently than if I had been on my own. I am forever indebted to the professor, Yale, and anyone else responsible for this course, for making my life 1000% better. I will never be the same, Thank You :)
