Awesome course. Many people suffer from depression and this course is great to understand and shift your state of mind. Can't solve a problem if you don't truly understand what's causing the problem.

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.

Was good. There were a lot of points I already knew from basic youtube videos but there were also some new points about well being and positive psychology. The course doesn't go super in depth but I would say it's worth getting into especially if you're completely new to the concept of positive psychology.

Good insights, the professor keeps skipping things she told she would talk about, and she keeps changing one subject to another that makes it hard to grasp the concepts clearly!

interesting course, good "life work" to help you build positive habits of mind. Would have preferred more guided online conversations amongst participants.

The course should be based on a global culture, more generic and not so close to American culture and American authors.

In my opinion the teacher kept the same pace and voice, which made the course a little boring.

Nothing new as far as the educational approach. A nice compilation of data. Peer Review Assignment at the end left a lot to be desired. No quality feedback, real one on one with the educator due to the sheer volume/magnitude of the course. Guest videos were almost like salesmen with their published data.

I found a lot of it to be common knowledge and not the sort of wellbeing I was hoping for. I'm glad I've completed it but I didn't enjoy the lectures. I found them too clinical in terms of research and I found the lecturer too casual in her approach.

Mas se n茫o for poss铆vel mudar idioma eu gostaria de ter o dinheiro do curso de volta. Mas eu prefiro que sera trocado para portugu锚s para que eu possa fazer e ter bom proveito do curso. Obrigada.

With a background in education and human behavior鈥攁nd having grown up on the West Coast surrounded by emotionally attuned, thoughtful people鈥擨 was surprised at how disconnected this course feels from real-world nuance. It鈥檚 oversimplified to the point of being condescending. Frankly, it comes across more like an exercise in ideological messaging than education. I took the initial assessment and couldn鈥檛 relate to any of it. It鈥檚 been frustrating and frankly a waste of my time

I can't do some stuff from my cellphone and my password won't let me log in from my computer. Even when I reset from my phone it still won't let me reset. It just takes me back to the course.
