This is a brilliant course , it made me realise so many misconceptions that we have about our happiness. It gave me fresh perspective and taught me that at the end of the day happiness is not about material things , it is not in winning the rat race but enjoying and savouring each day. I am so thankful to coursera and Laurie Santos for this one!

This course is for anyone looking to understand the root cause of their unhappiness, the misconceptions about what will bring them said happiness, and ways in which to amplify well-being on a daily basis. It merges theory and practice in a harmonious way and I have seen a significant improvement in my general well-being since taking this course.

This was amazing and learned so much!!! Loved the style of sitting around listening to everyone. I feel as we progress in life we must always remember our well being no matter what because that is our biggest reflection toward others and no matter what situation always remember to be grateful for life! thank you for offering a course like this!!

A great course with many practical exercises, a lot of theoretical background and numerous suggestions for everyday life. Don´t miss it! It changed my mind about happiness, wellbeing and mindfulness. And overall it has changed my life, professionally and personally ... I am grateful and very happy! A big thank you to Laurie Santos and her team!

El curso me ha permitido ampliar mis conocimientos sobre los puntos básicos que puedo observar para mejorar mi bienestar personal. El material de apoyo complementa lo revisado en los videos. Me encantó entender que las experiencias enriquecen y satisfacen mucho más que las cosas que compras porque además perduran para siempre en tu memoria.

Absolutely fantastic course. Dr.Laurie Santos presented an excellent researched-based course. Her presentation style was so comfortable and relaxed yet the content was rigorous. She could relate and she had a passion for spreading the word on how to improve your sense of well-being. Thank you, Dr. Laurie Santos, I highly recommend this course.

This is an extremely worthwhile course. The instructor does a great job of making the scientific information digestible and accessible. Additionally, real-world application of the new techniques you are learning is built right into the course. Not only did my measurable "happiness scores" increase after this course, but I also just felt better!

This course is around at just the right time. It helped me to reflect on what I need to focus on in order to make my own life happier and the lives of those around me.It had a good scientific base and interesting research findings which I appreciated.It reawakened my interest in the study of Psychology and particularly in Positive Psychology.

What a wonderful (and important) course. I think these material should be taught to high school students as a requirement for graduating. Our cultural (United States) beliefs on what will make us happy are so skewed. This course (and all the researchers studying the material in it.) will go a long way to happier, healthier future generations!

I enjoyed this class and definitely i will recommend it to friends and colleagues . The science of well being and happiness will help people not only find themselves and their strengths, but to share with other their happiness, as they practice respect and share something in common. I loved the influence of the experts for each of the themes.

Very Interesting and informative on small but effective habits to inculcate in life. It's helped change my perspective on life in general. I hope to spread this learning and inspire other people and keep myself motivated through my Instagram well-being community I started, called "Innercard" which was further enhanced after taking this course.

This course is fantastic! I'm so glad to have found it, and what a perfect time during quarantine. I looked forward to the lectures, and found it so useful to understand that what we think makes us happy actually doesn't make us happy.

I highly recommend for anyone looking for more meaning and happiness in their life, and who couldn't use that.

Thank you Professor Santos for this incredible opportunity to find happiness in the midst of a pandemic with three young children quarantined at home for 3 months! You made one mum's dream come true by making it a possibility to do this course from home even while my children are literally on top of me all day! Thank you and may God bless you!

This course helped me realize that I can engage in better wanting to improve my happiness. Better wanting involves looking at all of the things that we think will make us happy in life but in reality pose a series of threats to our well-being. The key to our own happiness then becomes wanting the things in life that will promote our well-being.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me tremendously during the COVID-19 Pandemic which affected my household. My husband of 30 years became very ill and was admitted in the hospital. It was a close call but thankfully he survived and we are on the road to recovery. Savoring and grateful! Namaste.

very good in terms of discussing the nuances....so many layers and layers to unravel. Obviously well being is most talked about and is the hot topic of discussion since decades but its a huge labyrinth or a maze which cannot be decipherd or decoded without efforts and sincerity. This module does cover the nitty gritties involved & its great !

Many thanks for the team of Yale University and especially to Mrs. Santos! This is great job, I learned last research in psychology, on the edge of time. I like that during course many science papers and surveys were shown. I am appreciated to have this course for free. Now I have real tools that work and help me to build my oun well-being!

The course content is easy to follow, practical and provides many resources to continue the journey to know more about well-being and living a better life. Can't wait for the next course about Well-being for teens so I can share it with my students! Thank you Dr Santos for contributing to the betterment of mental health and overall well-being!

This was a wonderful 10-week program. Thank you so much for designing a learning experience that allows plenty of interaction throughout the program. I agree that this information should be shared and taught to school-aged children as well. Thank you for also adding so many resources to deepen our understanding. I highly recommend this course!

This course was so enjoyable especially since I started it at the beginning of COVID lockdown in March 2020. The pacing was reasonable... the video content and resources were interesting. Learning about my character strengths and how to add activities that enhance them increased my well-being awareness. Thanks so much for teaching this course!

I found this course very interesting and useful. The instructor was incredibly relatable and I thought very often about how well spoken she was. The course offered information that could actually be applied to normal daily life. I am so pleased I took this course. I feel proud and enlightened about new ways to think and strategies to practice.

I'm so glad that I came across this course. Got to learn a lot of things and aslo how to implement them accordingly. All the content that was covered in this course was just extraordinary. Keep up the good work. I would like to Thank all the members who had put their efforts to come up with this course. Special Thanks to Miss Laurie Santos :)

Clarity regarding ways to achieve happiness in life. A lot of insights about well being which is indispensable .Examples and discussion with eminent personalities are eye openings.Lastly Practising the technique of " WOOP" by Gabrielle Oettingen is a good exercise that we can do in our daily life make ourself worthy and also to others.

This was an amazing experience, the course taught me new ways to be more happy and grateful in my life. Simple things I could do to be productive and more social. I enjoyed watching Laurie speak about what really makes us happy and what doesn't. I'm glad I took the course and I hope this helps anyone who is interested in it. Have A Great Day.

I really enjoyed this course, which I took because I really enjoying listening to Professor Santos' podcast, The Happiness Lab. She presented information you can use/apply in your daily life. I think "rewirement" is a perfect description for applications of the really useful "well-being" initiatives. I've recommended this course to others.
