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!

I enjoyed the lectures followed by specific assignments which helped me operationalize the content. It took me a while to register for the course but once I figured out how to use the format I could download the slides. This made reviews much better.

Nothing like being able to practically apply scientific evidence to enhance one's well-being. It was a true journey of self-exploration and knowledge during a personally and globally challenging time. Santos is engaging. Well worth investing the time.

I really enjoyed the course, I like all the evidence with the different studies and asking us ( the student) what we thought before getting the answers. Love watching all the videos and not having to do lots of reading (unless I wanted to know more).

I loved this course. It is full of practical advice on how to increase your happiness and sense of well-being. I would have like to be told how to get a certificate at the end of the course though, as I've looked everywhere and can't seem to get one.
