This course could not have come at a better time. With the pandemic, it was easy to get lost in a dark hole with all the uncertainty. Taking this course has allowed me to stay positive and use this time to improve/understand my happiness.

Very interesting! I really appreciated all the scientific research that was used and shared to help develop the understanding of how humans can be going about being happy erroneously. i have picked up some helpful skills on setting goals.

The course was extremelly interesting, the professor was engaging and I loved every minute of it! It offered amazing information from so many scientific research studies and revealed me things about myself and about human race in general.

I learned a tremendous amount that is not only been great for me but I am also sharing some of the knowledge with my therapy clients to help them live happier lives....such interesting information! Excellent class!!! Thank you so much :)

This course was truly transformative. It didn’t just teach theories of happiness — it helped me experience them. The blend of science, reflection, and practical exercises made it one of the most meaningful learning journeys I’ve ever had

I enjoyed this course through practice as well as science of what matters on one's well-being.

It was crucial learning in my life. I'm glad I took this course. Materials are well constructed. I got helpful feedback from discussion forums.

I would highly recommend this course for students of any age. It is grounded in scientific research and provides tangible changes that can make a lasting impact on lifetime happiness. I am so grateful that Yale made it available on-line!

a very useful course for those who are interested in making oneself and others happier. The science is simple to understand but the practice would be what counts, which requires lots of efforts, persistence and flexibilities. Good lucks!

Fue un curso práctico y cálido pero con todos los argumentos científicos que brindan confianza y soporte a los conceptos estudiados.

La docente evidencia excelente manejo del tema y fue siempre muy clara en todas sus exposiciones.

Gracias!

Great intro the psychology around well being and happiness. Learning how to change the way we think and approach certain things differently. Learning more about what really makes us happy and how it isnt necessarily the things we expect.

I thought the course was great! I had read about it several months ago and realized I practiced a lot of the rewirements. Taking the course provided a lot of additional reading material on the topics and the videos were very informative.

This course is simply a must take for those seeking the betterment of their spiritual state. The material presented through the course ties emotional well-being to logocially-based research that explains the hardwiring of the human mind.

This course was insightful and I gained a lot of understanding of both myself and how I interact within my environment.I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants to consider the why behind their happiness and take steps to improve it.

Easy to access. Interesting material. Very useful. I have studied positive psychology and mindfulness for years and used them in my work as well. So, I was a bit skeptic whether this course would benefit me. But it did. Highly recommend!

a wonderful course that has helped me to act intentionally for my well being. the course is well paced and laid out. i thoroughly enjoyed the lectures, learning my strengths, and putting strategies in place to do rewirements. thank you!

Dr. Santos was a fantastic professor sharing knowledge and creating an environment to grow, learn, and gain insights into how we think and move through the world. One of the best courses I have taken in my 20+ years in higher education!

This was such a helpful course. Sometimes being motivated to make positive changes means understanding why we need to make these changes and how they are going to help. The professor was dynamic and engaging; she really knows her stuff!

If you are considering this, definitely do it. Very engaging videos and practical information. I watched the videos every Sunday and they were interesting so it didn’t feel like a burden. Then you get to practice things through the week.

I enjoyed taking this course and learning about the research that supports our well-being. Thank you, Professor Laurie Santos for making this course so valuable and presenting the habits that can lead to a more enriched life experience.

I am completely satisfied with what the course has to offer. It is not really time consuming, more like effective with the knowledge it presents. The information given is very useful in everyday life, I recommend this course to everyone.

It's very important and life changing course, I think everyone should consider this course as life skills . We earned money and fame but the satisfaction and happiness is not there in everything. This will help you to know science in it.

Absolutely brilliant! One of the best online courses I have attended. It is structured to make you happier in life and provides relevant and understandable research and lectures. The experts are well-versed in the course and encouraging.

It was the best thing that could've happened to me the past 10 weeks! I feel so much happier and more grateful and I feel a much stronger connection to my family and friends. I can only recommend this course! The instructor is wonderful!

This course was an eye-opening and practical guide to understanding the science of well-being. It provided valuable insights and actionable strategies that have genuinely helped me build healthier habits and improve my overall happiness
