I couldn't have asked for a better class to be offered during this time. Got to learn a lot about myself and why I think or do certain things without even thinking about it. Thank you for this course!

This course was life-changing. I was struggling with anxiety and focus, and with this course I learned about these things as well as ways to combat them. I am a better person with the tools and information I've gathered. I (and everyone that has to deal with me regularly!) cannot thank you enough!

It was a really interesting and well structured course. It does give some helpful real life tips how to increase your overall well-being. I was quite surprised to find out some of the things I thought are straight forward to be different. Great experience with the course and I highly recommend it.

I loved this course. So much insight and at the same time logical. It actually surprised me how much more of a motivating factor it was in my changing my habits and mindset for the better. This should be a mandatory class in all schools. We'd save ourselves a lot of frustration and heartache!

A very good course to take any time- especially at the times of Corona lockdown. Engaging enough, entertaining enough, but with very good insights on how to be a happier person. Backup information and materials used were all very resourceful and relevant, spaced well to keep the interest going.

During this pandemic I do Thank you for this course. I chose to pay for it as I wanted the certificate to remind me why and that I am committing the WOOP theory in my everyday life! ! I loved your honesty and the people you had come in to speak. It is my first college ever and I am 59 yrs old.

Really great course content! It was also very easy to fit into my free time. This course doesn't require a lot of time from you, but it requires effort if you want to reap the benefit of the course. Super helpful in identifying why we aren't as happy as we want to be and what we can do to fix it!

This course was referred to me at exactly the right time in my life. Having gone through some heavy things nearly exactly last year, it helped me really dig down and pull out new lenses to examine life through. I would even do that again in the future to revisit these ideas of finding well-being.

This course was brilliant! I have made a lot of changes to my attitude and actions since the beginning of the course and it had made a significant impact on how I have dealt with the last few months in lockdown, which have been challenging. I will definitely continue with everything I've learned.

I picked a couple of rewirements, gratitude and meditation. During Covid times, I feel like I’m doing better than most people I know. I’m not in a rush to get back out and be exposed to CV19 and I am also not diving into the end of a wine bottle. This class is one everybody should take right now.

Super course, with plenty of good tips on how to usefully manage our time and how to keep a good balance between private and work. Lots of good books and TED excerpts, some of them familiar, some of them a nice discovery. A big thank you to Laurie for sharing her knowledge throughout this course!

I do not care who you or what you do, It truly does not matter what walk of life you come from. This course can benefit anyone. It's a great way to see the world from a different perspective. It did not just feel like another class and another grade. This is something I can take with me forever.

The course teaches some theories, and the best one is, it gives some experiments and statistics to justify the theories and let students have better understandings. It is a well-organized, delicate, wonderful course, I'm so excited I really get help through it. Thanks for all the teaching staff.

This was a really good course. Not something I would've chosen normally but I was trying to impress a girl etc. Very interesting content and it was broken down well and paced nicely. The essay at the end was nothing to worry about and you are gently lead through it and it's finished in no time.

I loved this course! Professor Santos lectures are succinct and interesting. I learned a lot of things I can APPLY to my life that will improve my overall well-being. I just wish some of the weeks/lectures were longer cause there's not much material after week 5. I recommend taking this course.

I couldn’t recommend this course highly enough, especially given how drastically our happiness can be affected by current global pandemic.
I thought the course was educational and enjoyable. I noticed a change in my conscious thinking and have used this to influence those around me.
Thanks Laurie!

At first jumping into this course, I was skeptical I would truly be happier at the end of it. However, the data and how I feel shows otherwise. What you learn and what you do for this course will open your eyes and really show you ways to improve your well-being over all. 15/10 highly recommend!

The course has been great! Well structured. Well-being for me is living in the present moment, enjoying life and its many gifts, taking care of myself (meditation, healthy food, exercise, sleep). I have been getting there slowly. The course has clarified which is the way to go. Thank you Laurie!

Great experience! Very useful course above all during this challenging period. The scientific explanations and the rewirement scheme were my favourite part of the programme. I learned a lot but most important I acquired practical tools I can apply to improve my levels of wellbeing and happiness.

This was such a great course. Dr. Laurie Santos is a great conversationalist and easy to listen to, and broke down the material so well using relatable anecdotes and humor. I would definitely suggest this class to anyone who is looking for some tools to develop their own happiness a little more.
