Great content what we should all learn at an early stage of our life. Some of the things should be taught at primary school or high-school. So everyone who digs deeper and learns these things even as adults, will understand we really don't need that much to be happier. We can practice being happy here and now.

Inspiring, motivating and learning by doing and questioning yourself course.

Clear, exhaustive and relevant contents and variated supports giving by highly motivated and professional professor, Laurie Santos.

I highly recommend it for professional purpose, and especially for your personal growth and happiness.

Excelente curso, la profesora se centra en desmitificar sobre aquello que CREEMOS nos hace felices. Este curso sirve como herramienta para poder proyectar en diferentes habilidades blandas, o de comprensión hacia el grupo con que nos relacionamos y trabajamos; de paso en hacer(se) una introspección personal.

This was truly a pleasure. I'm thankful for relevant, proven information that I can return to when I need to give myself a boost. I've long struggled with creating habits, but it's easier to consider with so many useful tools. I enjoyed the additional readings as well. I would recommend this course to others.

Dr. Santos does a wonderful job sharing information about various aspects of well-being, happiness, and goal setting. The course time and time required to read extra information and take quizzes was very reasonable. A great course to take if you're looking to help yourself or others feel happier about life!

What a wonderfully well structured and enlightening course this is! I now have new life skills to improve not only my own quality of life but those of my family, friends, and others around me. I am excited to continue my new found practice and to help others find ways to achieve their own desired well-being.

Thanks a lot to Professor Laurie Santos. I liked this course very much. Actually this course made me changed from the idea that all people thinks about happiness. Actually health, wealth, money are not the main sources of happiness. Here I have learnt in a scientific manner. I want this type of course again.

This has been an extremely beneficial course and the way I approach life has fundamentally changed for the better, thank you so much for putting this course online for free so everyone can access this, especially during these sad times. I will carry what I have learned here with me forever. Thank you, Laurie!

I had an overall great experience with this course. The instructor was amzing and I appreciated all of the additional resources provided for continued success. SInce taking this course, I am a happy, healthier version of myself! I feel this should be a mandatory course for high school and/or college students.

Incredible opportunity for someone who's committed to living better and happier. The course is free and extremely well put together not to mention everything is backed up by solid research. Happiness is 100% achievable we were put on this earth to be happy! Don't hesitate just do it. You can thank me later :)

The Science of Well Being was challenging and incredibly practical which reinforced that daily actions to increase exercise, sleep, meditation, gratitude and savoring all experiences brings true fulfillment and an unshakable peace. The trick is maintaining the daily practice. It’s a journey One Day at a Time.

The best course I've taken so far. It changed my whole perception of life. I'm really grateful for having had the opportunity to take this course. I'm looking forward to see how i can improve and apply more deeply what i have learned. I don't think i will able to rate other course with 5 stars after this one.

Loved every bit of the course and needles to the say Prof Santos is amazing ! She made the course so interesting with the research data substantiating all the aspects. Whatever we learnt in the course has practical application and one can actually feel the benefit, if we keep practising :)

Thank you Coursera !

i highely recommend that anyone seeking to enhance their mental health and overall quality of life consider enrolling in the science of wellbeing course. The course offers insights and practical tools that can empower individuals to assume control of their well-being and flourish in all areas of their lives.

I enjoyed the course very much. The instructor was engaging and fun to listen to . She made listening to the lectures fun. These things that were brought up may be things we know but forget to take the time to look into and focus on. The reminders or different ways of looking at things are helpful insights.

This course was excellent. I really enjoyed learning and taking the happiness assessment at the beginning of the course and the end of the course and comparing the scores. My happiness score increased at the end. I learned so much about what we think makes us happy really does not to the extend we believe.

I could not adequately express the value of this course. I have been looking for a set of practical tools and understanding like this for many years. Laurie is a spectacular professor who makes science accessible and fun while introducing ideas that have been surprising at the least and valuable at the best!

Such a wonderful, insight course! I highly recommend it for anyone looking to think outside the box when it comes to happiness. The theories and research to back it up are excellent. Dr. Santos is an amazing professor, keeping the audience engaged and excited to learn. She's definitely a top-notch professor.

I highly recommend this course. Dr. Santos teaches concepts that are backed by scientific research and then gives opportunity to practice these concepts in daily life. I can only imagine if all parents were aware of this knowledge and raised their children to value these concepts. Our world would change.

Very well structured and presented course, but most of all, great insights in current positive psychology research accompanied by the opportunity of self-experience. Highly recommendable, thank your very much, I'd like to suggest a consecutive course - dreaming of it as free of charge as this one these days.

The course was fabulous!! I learned so much on how to apply the principles of happiness in such a practical way. I gained tools that will be very helpful throughout my life, and I am willing to continue to work on each of the rewirements to enhance my happiness.

Thank you Dr. Laurie Santos!!

This class was a great experience. I learned a lot about the science behind being happy, I also was provided with accurate research, tools and techniques that helped me to increase my happiness by "rewiring" and setting goals and changing my behavior to be happier in aspects of my life that are important.

This is a good course to take , i enjoy learning a method on how to adjust my behavior for a better life style and good teaching method too .I was so busy with work before that by now i realizes i miss out quite a lot .Thanks to this ,i now know what i miss and what to do about it too. Overall, good course !
