Laurie is incredibly friendly and thoughtful with the presentation of her material. There are ample studies to support her claims. Exercises throughout the course offer opportunities to practice what you learn. Incredible and life-changing course.

I found this course amazing. It was super accessible, the professor was highly engaged in the topic and I loved the combination of research based evidence and putting things into practice. I'm actually a little sad that the course is finished now!

This was amazing course backed up by a lot of scientific evidence. I enjoyed it! Some weeks it was more challenging to follow the lectures, but since I installed coursera to my phone it became way better than trying to get time in front of laptop.

Exploring a new discipline is refreshing and can be so rewarding! Taking this course has helped me take distance from my intellectual comfort zone and discover new dimensions of myself, my thinking and approach to my every day. Thank you for that!

Great course. Everyone should take it. Dr. Santos is absolutely fantastic! She is a very engaging speaker, the course was really interesting, and the retirement exercises were extremely useful. I learned a lot in a short amount of time - thanks!

Other then a few glitches sending quiz results to host I am very happy with this course as I head into week 5! Thank you for making courses like this available. After I finish this I think I will buy the course for my 23 and 25 year old daughters.

To be honest, this course is great for anyone willing to improve their wellbeing, their life quality from an internal perspective.

Also to other who are making a big impact on others... we need to be our best versions, to make our best impacts...

This was so worthwhile doing. I have learned so much that I can keep using day to day and reflect back on when times are hard. Well done Laurie and everyone involved with the course. Just wish there was a part two that I could plan to do next.

Professor Santos was a true pleasure to learn from, and to learn with. Since taking this course, I have become so much more mindful about the things that will truly bring happiness, and to be more intentional in my behaviors. Thank you so much!

It's truly life-changing. Everybody should check it out, it's surprisingly simple to be happier, it's all about good choices. All the science behind it makes it true. Thanks for letting people access it for free. Amazing content, congratulations!

This course is really good. It shows with real data how someone can improve significanlly their well-being. When you see with data the real effect, then you start to think that you may need to do some changes in your life, so you can feel better.

I learned effective and fruitful ways that will ultimately make me happier. It gave me a lot of clarity and guided me on how I can really take care of myself. I highly recommend this course because I think it's a necessary thing to learn in life.

This is an excellent class. It includes the right amount of video learning, reading, and practical learning. I highly recommend it. The lectures are engaging as are the activities. I learned a lot. More importantly, I'm practicing what I learned!

Es un curso maravilloso. Fomenta la inclusión de actividades que, basados en evidencia científica, mejorarán diversos aspectos de nuestra vida diaria. La profesora Laurie es muy agradable y facilita el apego a las clases. Se los recomiendo mucho.

el curso se escucha muy interesante, desafortunadamente no tengo como traducir los textos y algunos vídeos en facebook al español. si fuese posible me ayudasen en encontrar la forma de poder cursarlo en español les agradecería su atencion.

gracias

This was a great course, explaining the science behind various ways to increase happiness. As a data driven person, it was interesting to see the data that supported various techniques, such as meditation and exercise as ways to boost happiness.

This Course is can be a "Game-Changer" in your own Happiness. It is presented by a delightful Professor Laurie Santos who makes her videos engaging, and presented with Peer-Reviewed-Scientific-Articles that are convincing.

Try IT! You'll Like It!

A fantastic course, easily the best I've taken here. Just remember though: you get out of it what you put into it. You'll be rewarded if you put in the work, but if you just view passively I can't swear it'll be more than just really interesting.

I think this course was amazing. She really put alot of thought into this course and the layout. It was very easy to navigagte and understand what the assignments to do.

Thank you for your time putting this course together for us online learners.

Curso excelente e muito prático, extremamente necessário nos dias do hoje. Seria bom se todas as pessoas, independente de formação, condição financeira, localização, pudesse ter condições e acesso a essas informações. O mundo seria mais feliz !!

What an amazing 10 weeks it's been :) Loved every moment of it. Easy to follow for foreigners (like me) and really teaches you how to be happier, which I think we all need! I wish there was a part 2. Thank you Laurie for teaching and inspiring.

Exceeded my expectations. Sometimes we think we know everything but we don't know how to use the "tools" we already have, to our benefit. It was good to learn that in this course. is in our hand, we improve our well-being and that of the others.

It was a course that taught about the psychology of being happy and how to make our every day lives better. The course was also very informative and taught how to change specific negatives emotions we feel on a daily basis, rewiring our mindset.

A well-balanced and well-structured course that presents very interesting scientific information from various fields in an easy-to-understand way. Great videos. A very nice combination of theory and practise. Excellent array of further readings.

I highly recommend this course! You will walk away with a deeper understanding of yourself and you will have developed tools and habits that can support you in your life. Wonderful experience and I can't wait for young kids to experience this!
