This was a great course that helped me understand that what I have always considered important for my happiness was actually not helping me feel happy at all. I encourage others to take this course and find out what they can do to improve their happiness.

Lovely course taught by Ms Laurie. She taught us and reminded us that sometimes the best way to feel better is to have goals that you can manage working towards, how sleep is important to our well being and lots more. Definitely worth tsaking this course.

New to Coursera, New to online leaning. Found this class in a LinkedIn post and registered for it that day. I really enjoyed to robustness of the content and how well facilitated the entire experience was. Looking forward to enrolling in another class.

A great course packed with ideas, research and valuable tools for making positive changes in happiness levels. I am a 46 year old mother and I am studying to be a life coach. These skills will be valuable to my personal and professional life! Thank you!

This is a great class. Professor Santos is very engaging and she presents the information so well!!

I looked forward to my “class time.” I am a retired kindergarten teacher who wanted something to do during the winter months in Michigan! It was perfect.

Insightful and helpful. My overall feelings of well being have improved. Going forward I feel confident that I will practice my rewirement that I picked for the class. I also will practice gratitude daily, especially on the days when I feel a little down.

I can not be happier having taken this course. I have anxiety and the tools they gave me were wonderful! Aside from that...the instructor is so wonderful and easy to connect with even by computer! I would love one day to meet her in person to tell her.

Great course design in terms of structure, materials, expertise of speaker. Exercises support application and reflection, thus the learning circle (knowledge, application, feedback, reflection) is almost complete which is great considering this is a MOOC.

I recommend this course for anyone who would like to enrich his/her life. It provides enlightening information about the concept of "happiness" and research based strategies to create a healthy mindset. I will be recommending it to all of my colleagues.

This course has taught me to reevaluate my life. I am learning to enjoy my life and to be content where I am. I have also picked up techniques for making myself happy and I have understood what really helps to bring happiness and long lasting experiences

An excellent and provoking course. It'll push you out of your comfort zone. Packed with current scientific research and practical techniques to apply in your daily life long term.

I feel very privileged to have learned these skills so early on in my life.

Great information on what really brings people happiness and how to pursue it. I like the various speakers, as wall as Professor Santos. There are really only 6 weeks of learning and then 4 weeks to practice what you learn. Highly recommend to anyone!

Really well-done course! Evidence-based, structured, entertaining, and what I find most important, with positive impact on my every-day life. I am looking forward to spreading the ideas further in my professional and private life. Thank you very much! ♥

This workshop helped me go back to what I have learned over the years but never used for myself. I used it to teach my consumer behavior seminars and my research but didn't make the link. Thank you for helping me make the link and rewire my happiness.

thank you for the wonderful learning and sharing. personally to Prof Laurie. I finally discovered some tips and tricks and proven methods of WOOP to increase my well being ! fantastic learning and so privileged to attend this course with YAle University!

I am happy to share that this course has shown me a straight path to meet my daily goals of exercise, social mixing, giving to others ,enjoying life and meditating. I have tried to club one with the other in my daily life . Thanks to the course director!

Thank you for the opportunity to study online at Yale, it was a pleasure to be Dr. Santos student. Great course, excellent instructor, friendly, and supporting classmates from all over the world, useful outcomes.

This course has actually increased my happiness score from 5,7/10 to 8,1/10!

I recommend it to anyone who wants to become aware of the science behind happiness, and control their own wellbeing, rather than letting it be determined by the external factors

Loved it. Even when I was not sure about some topics or conclusions, I was excited to learn more and expand on them weekly to get a better sense of the big picture. Also learned so many valuable perspectives & skills to use for life. Thank you Dr Santos!

The course will help you understand your perspective on happiness and wellbeing, challenge it and find ways to induct the right kind of happiness in your life. It changed my perspective on a lot of things. Definitely one of the best courses i have taken.

I have learned much about myself and human psyche. Plus, have adapted new positive habits towards living a fulfilling and joyous life. Thank you to Dr. Santos and Yale University for the gift of happiness and gratitude. Muchas Gracias. Much love to you.

I have been raving about this course to anyone who will listen while doing it.

The science is well explained and the activities help you to apply the science and see for yourself how it works for you.

I will continue to recommend this course! Thank you :)

Amazing course! The professor was outstanding. The content was so engaging. I learned so much about the Science of Well-Being. I wish I had this class when I was in college. Highly recommend taking this class. So much valuable information to use in life.

Not only does it focus on comprehensive coverage on all technical skills or action item suggestions, but it also provides theory analysis, and there is a 4-week rewire challenge at the end to help you actually make some changes, make a move in your life.

Great course on the science of well-being. clearly structured with lots of scientific data being presented. and very practical too: the last four weeks is about chosing a rewirement, making a habit out of it and reflecting on the progress. reccommended!
