Loved the course. Filled with so many eye-opening nuggets as to what actually does (or doesn't) make us happier. Would recommend this to anyone wishing to learn more about the science of well-being.

This course not only tells you what makes you happy, it explains why. It makes sense, and really brings it home by making you responsible for your own happiness and makes you engage in certain measurable behaviours so you can test it for yourself.

If you weren't aware of just HOW unhappy you actually were... take this course! You might have thought... "I'm fine"... and then when you actually improve and feel better... you realize - it worked! Still meditating... Woo! Thank you Prof. Santos!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
