I was blown away when I learned about the power of "reference points" -- this course has allowed me to recreate a better mindset for a happier life and actually take steps towards positive change. Loved this class and Professor Santos was so awesome.

Outstanding course! Loved the lectures, readings, and assignments. Really helped me learn about the important aspects of happiness, how to develop new habits, as well as maintain healthy happiness habits. Give yourself a gift and take this course.

This has been a brilliant learning experience and helped me find positivity during a global pandemic. The lecturer was absolutely great and so engaging. I've recommended this to so many already! Thank you for putting this into the world and for free!

I wish everyone I know could take the opportunity to take this course. I have recommended it to all of my loved ones. It has been such a positive influence on my well being during these challenging times. I continue to use it in every way! Thank you.

Bajo las circunstancias que vivimos COVID-19, me pareció una guía en mi, ya que te aclara la mayor parte de por que tu mente es como es, y ahorita necesitaba lidiar ahora mas que nunca, al estar en cuarentena, me encanta!, seguiré trabajando en ello.

Very interesting and insightful course. If you are looking for more happiness (or to understand the happiness that you already have/experience), then I recommend this course. It provides tools and guidance, and the format/course setup is fantastic!

Highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a supportive class to help make specific and consistent habit changes. Engaging content and professor. Fascinating discoveries especially if you've never taken a class on psychology/happiness before!

I LOVED this course! I learned so many ways to develop lasting positive habits and thought processes. This is a continual process (not a "one size fits all" approach) and gives me hope that I will be able to achieve and maintain authentic happiness.

Excellent course! It contained the right balance of background /scientific information and applicable exercise to bring it to life. I particularly appreciated the references and scientific basis-it helped me believe in the elements it was teaching.

We need more Laurie Santos in the world. I wish all education, organizational development and political systems were bolstered by the foundations and truths of our best selves encapsulated here. So much is at stake now.....this course was redemptive.

I was really impressed with the quality of this class. I've taken many online courses for grad credit, and didn't expect a 'free, certifcate' class to be as encompassing as it is. Glad I found this, Santos is engaging and a great presence. Thanks!

I found the material and the assignments to be highly valuable. In fact, I would recommend this course to just about anyone who isn't very happy with their life. I also really like the instructor and how the course integrates science backed findings.

FUE TODO UN RETO ESTE CURSO APRENDI MUCHO ACERCA DE MI, GRACIAS PROFESORA LAURA UNA GRAN MAESTRA. FUE UN POCO DIFICIL PORQUE SOLO HBALO ESPAÑOL, ME LLEVO MAS TIEMPO DEL ESPERADO PORQUE TENIA QUE TRADUCIR, PERO ME SIENTO AGRADECIDA. EXCELENTE CURSO.

Very well structured, and with lots of good information and helped me so far to understand how we work, and how we can do small changes that make us feel better daily.

Many Thanks Laurie, and Yale University, for sharing this knowledge with the world

I loved this course! I loved it because it re-enforced what I already knew but I also learned new things and I loved how studies and stats were used to demonstrate learnings.

I started this course at the beginning of the pandemic and I'm glad I did!

Because I took this course very seriously it made great difference to me .now whenever I feel low start thinking about this course lectures which still boost my mood and make me so positive through life. so I decided to do more course like this.

What an amazing course, not only but especially throughout the COVID-19 crisis. This course is literally about yourself as a student, how you perceive the world around you and about taking responsibility for one's happiness and wellbeing! Thank you!

This is the best course anyone can do especially in this current covid-19 situation.

I actually learned about real happiness and also how to achieve it.

I would surely recommend this course to everyone.

THANK YOU for this beautiful and lovely course.

The course is perfectly structured and it was completely helpful with the information provided. I practice all tips and activities learned during the course, and really helps me to increase my happiness level and to be more conscious on the present.

This course was my first experience with Coursera.org and it was great experience. During course there were many useful links, books. I will recommend the course to my circle of friends who are looking for some new ideas, new learnings, new formats.

I think having a reminder or what they call a "check" in life is a gift and if one can get that it might reset their life and general outlook in a positive way. The course helped bring to light the things I needed to refocus on especially during C19

I truly believe that everyone should take this course so that they have a good base to start getting happier. With the tools to work on a happier life, it will be easier to notice when you are happier and notice when it is time to do some self work

Great course! Not only was I able to apply the concepts to my own life, but I was also able to apply them professionally with my clients in my therapy practice. Thanks for all the information, and for doing such an amazing job teaching this course!!

This course has given me so many tools to increase my happiness. It's a really enjoyable and informative class that is highly applicable to your daily life. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to know how to make her daily life better.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class and all the rewirements which were implemented throughout the course. The tools which were given in the course is something not only can I apply in my life, but also with my clients at work. I would highly recommend.
