    series of challenges designed to increase your own happiness and build more productive habits. As preparation for these tasks, Professor

    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.

    Thank you Dra Laurie, this course was very helpful for me. Although I finish, I hope not to forget the happiness that is felt in the immediate instant of achieving things, and that we must always thank them.

    Excellent course. Learned a great deal about our constant desire to want more and how if we stop and use some strategies to reflect we can see we have all we need. This contentment leads to true happiness.

    Loved learning about the science of what makes us happy, what doesn't actually make us happy, and the things we should actually be striving for in our lives to have a more well-rounded, fulfilling existence.

    Excellent information, compellingly presented, and not too much of a burden while juggling work and life. And, at the end of 10 weeks, I both feel happier and have strategies to keep increasing my happiness.

    Wonderful course. My one concern is it is said the course ended on the 30th. In such I had not realized the final assignment was due on the 23rd. The Professor is awesome. Lots of good tips. Worth your time.
