This course could not have come at a better time. With the pandemic, it was easy to get lost in a dark hole with all the uncertainty. Taking this course has allowed me to stay positive and use this time to improve/understand my happiness.

a very useful course for those who are interested in making oneself and others happier. The science is simple to understand but the practice would be what counts, which requires lots of efforts, persistence and flexibilities. Good lucks!

Great intro the psychology around well being and happiness. Learning how to change the way we think and approach certain things differently. Learning more about what really makes us happy and how it isnt necessarily the things we expect.

Easy to access. Interesting material. Very useful. I have studied positive psychology and mindfulness for years and used them in my work as well. So, I was a bit skeptic whether this course would benefit me. But it did. Highly recommend!

It's very important and life changing course, I think everyone should consider this course as life skills . We earned money and fame but the satisfaction and happiness is not there in everything. This will help you to know science in it.
