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.

I have a greater sense of well-being than I did the day I enrolled. But even better, I have a repertoire of skills that I can work on to have an even greater sense of well-being as I move forward from here.

Use it or lose it was my philosophy for confinement during the CoVid 19 period. I used it to open the door to positive psychology and online learning in general. CoVid has passed, Coursera has not. Next!

It's a really good course, I think everyone deserve this kind of knowledge. We will know the right strategies to boost our happiness and the misconception that we thought affect our happiness significantly.

Amazing course, I learned so much about what it means to be happy, but also how to apply this to my daily life. From this I built a daily habit/practice and I saw almost immediate results. Highly recommend.
