This course is well worth the time and commitment and came out of this course with some valuable information and tools. I feel the more people that take the course, the better we can be as a society.

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 was my first experience with a 糖心vlog官网观看 course and I wasn't disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it quite fulfilling...very rewarding and insightful, especially during these particular days. The timing couldn't have been better for me and I'm grateful that it was available for free, too.
Dr. Laurie Santos is a knowledgeable and engaging professor and I appreciate the fresh perspective and practical application that I can use in my everyday living.
Thanks so much to Dr. Santos, Yale University and 糖心vlog官网观看.

I signed up for the class as a professional development opportunity and to measure my current knowledge. I cam e away with so much more than I expected including personal breakthroughs. Laurie's authenticity, meticulous course preparation, credible research and methodical, simple approach to learning and applying new thinking and skills are a perfect positive storm. I highly recommend it to professional life coaches, trainers, teachers, students, and anyone else who is ready to take more ownership of their own happiness and get it!

This class was great. It has given me more confidence and sure-sightedness in moving towards the things in life that will really make me happier. It has also helped me quiet and ignore some of the things that we so often mistakenly think will make us happy. The connections this class helped me to begin making consistently turned out to be more positive than I could have ever expected. If you are looking to really take action towards creating a happier life and perspective, this is a great course and will help you do just that!

Thank you, this was such a great course. It was precise but detailed, full of facts but not boring, educating but not exhausting. I wish I had teachers at University like the Laurie Santos. I think I am happy with myself for completing this course and have recommended it to my friends whom I think will benefit from learning how to become happier. I also think that its a great course for uni students ( although I did my bachelor degree 10 years ago) as it helps you figure out what you want to get out of life and university as well.

I am grateful to Dr Santos for organizing and offering this course. It is very useful, easy to follow. The availability of on-line mode and free access makes it user friendly. The tasks and the examples are clearly defined. The way of presenting it offers relaxed atmosphere what is a great plus for a 鈥渃ourse鈥. It definitely improved my life (well-being). I am very happy that I could be a part of this journey.
Excellent job! Keep on going with improvement of well-being through teaching!
My best regards and a warm hug

I have benefited greatly from this course and enjoyed it thoroughly. That being said, my only criticism is that I would have liked to have an outline. It seemed a bit scattered. It started out taking on a few individual rewirements, going off on great topics and articles on what really makes us happy, and the meaning of "flow" and winds up with a 4 week rewirement. Oh, and the professor spoke too fast. Thankfully I was able to read the transcript below. Never the less, it truly improved my understanding and feelings of happiness.

It's been brilliant. I love the mixed approach. It is the first course on 糖心vlog官网观看 that I'm actually going to finish and that is because I can see the applicability of what I am learning in my day-to-day life. That being said, it mixes up with academic rigour and it opened up a whole new area of psychology which speaks to me much more than the clinical one. I'm following this up with the Positive psychology specialisation and let's see where this takes me. Have recommended it to friends who are also taking the course :) Thank you!

This was a very good course on well-being. Annoying features of the mind and certain misconceptions were delts scientifically. Retwrement features of the course to implement the learning from the course have been very useful to understand the various concept. WOOP framework to develop the habits was well explained by psychologist Gabriele Oettingen. Exercise and meditation rewirement taken by many learners including myself has been helpful to increase wellness scores. I am grateful to Prof. Laurie Santos for conducting the course

This was a truly mind blowing course full with fascinating new research and plenty of practical ways we could apply that knowledge into our every day lives. I learned quite a few new things here! Additionally, the course had integrated a scientific tracking system so you could actually track the difference it was making in your very own life. It seems that all the information provided in this delightfully designed course was the final push I needed to take a risk and put myself out there. Happiness apparently gives me confidence.

I love everything this course taught me. It has really helped rewire my thinking and I find myself often taking the time to be grateful for little things like the bird singing outside right now and the beauty in nature. If you knew me at all, you'd know this is crazy talk coming from me. I needed this course before the lockdown because I had moved to a foreign country a year ago and have not been able to find my footing here. This course has helped me ease up on myself and appreciate what I do have. Where's the master's class?!?!

This course was a fundamental part of a personal self-betterment journey that started five months ago and what I learned from it, will now be an ongoing part of my life. It gave me the foundations and necessary material to rewire myself into a healthier set of habits. I feel so grateful towards myself for taking it up and completing it! And getting to read about other people's experience and share our own added that beautiful human touch to it all. Thank you to Professor Laurie Santos and to everyone who made this course happen!

I found this course to be very interesting. Combination of videos, interviews, Q&A sessions, books and articles recommendations gives a lot of useful information in easy to digest format. Weekly rewirements are easy to accomplish and help to reflect on what is important. I believe that completing this course helped me to increase level of happiness and gave me tools to maintain it. Building new habits is not easy but much easier with what I have learnt from this course. I will recommend this course to my friends and co-workers.

This course was an excellent reminder to focus on what counts. I feel I had a slight advantage in knowing what makes me happy because I am likely older than most of the students and clearly a couple decades older than the Professor! It was nice to see the science and study behind everything I felt I had learned from my nearly six decades on this planet. At best this course will make you look at life with a much better perspective, at worst, you might be able to appreciate and savor more that which is truly important to you.

Its been such a great experience, an amazing and wonderful journey.
I'm very thankful to the teacher, who helped me just just so much(thank you so much teacher)
The best things is, that if in some random moment, i feel bad or stressed, i can always come back here, and reread or re listen, which for me is just amazing.
I totally recommend this to everybody.
I would love to give more stars, but unfortunately, i can't.
Thank you so much, miss Laurie Santos, i am deeply thankful to you , and i will always treasure this place,thanks.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I was a good blend of lecture and planned work. I believe there were several key areas that a person could learn from and implement in their daily lives, to help them live happier ones. Dr. Santos is great. I like how she committed to some of the challenges herself, and was honest enough to admit they are not always easy to complete. I really liked the continue to learn sections, with additional resources. Because, even if the course is ending, our ability to learn doesn't necessarily have to.

The course has lead me on a journey of discovery and real interest on the topic of well being and happiness. During the course I ventured out to podcasts,and in particular "the happiness Lab",Meditative Story" and continue to really enjoy listening and learning.
I must admit I have become a follower of Laurie Santos - if I wasable to give her a gratitude letter in person I would BUT NZ is a long way away !!
I know I among millions who have done this course and that speaks for itself as far as review stars go>
THANK YOU SO MUCH

Super informative and super inspiring. Plus, Prof. Laurie Santos explains everything in a really relatable way. Through this course, I've become more sensitive and conscious about my purchases, about how I spend my time, and how I take care of myself and the people around me. It helped me realize that being happy means being intentional in your goals and in your actions. I'd love to review over and over the lessons here because I know there is still so much I can take from them. Thank you, Prof. Laurie, Yale, and 糖心vlog官网观看!!!

Probably the best course I've taken in my life, both online and offline. The charming teacher explains the basics of how our brains are wired and provides tools to rewire them for our own good in an easy and digestible way.
Thank you so much for the course and the opportunity to finally believe I am capable of change :) Finally adopted all the habits I wanted to have for years. Certainly feeling myself way happier.
Good luck to all the students! And remember that knowing theory is one thing, but practise makes it all real <3

Content: Wonderful, insightful material, very competently presented.
On communication: the instructor needs to do a careful assessment of her speech habits. They are thoroughly cliched in intonation and words, e.g., the word "like" is used ad nauseaum. A critically-minded professor should not be a mirror of all the cliches, verbal intonations and fill words used in her current social context. Divest yourself, as much as possible, of all contemporary speech habits that detract from clear, concise and effective communication.

The content was great, but not challenging, which surprised me. The information was clear and made good sense to me. I wish I had taken the live course in the Yale classroom so I could have asked Dr. Santos questions, but that doesn't change my opinion of this course. I learned a lot about ways to increase my happiness. The assignments were where the change really started to happen, of course! I saw a whopping 35% increase in my happiness levels, and I feel more capable to continue improving my happiness with these tools.

This was my first online course like that, I really enjoyed combination of theory and practical rewirements. It made such a huge difference! Even forums, peer review and grading was a nice surprise, as it created this whole community and the feeling that we are all human and struggle sometimes and want to get better. It definitely created a lot of support structure.
I liked the format of the course and videos with some notes. I could do it when doing other things, like cooking, which made it easier to complete the course.

This course gives you science-based tools to implement in your life. It leads you through chosing one of the tools to work on daily for the last 4 weeks of the class and then you evaluate yourself to see if you have felt any improvement. This is a wonderful course you will carry with you the rest of your life and follow. It offers reality checks of what really makes you happy and you may be surprised at the science behind some of the answers. The lectures are very interesting the readings go more in-depth on the subjects.
