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!

Me ha gustado mucho el curso. La Dra. Santos comenta (y cita) gran cantidad de estudios de impacto sobre el comportamiento humano. Volvería a hacerlo sin duda. Gracias Laurie y gracias Coursera!

Laurie Santos is a very relatable instructor, she makes her students feel like she's one with them. Yale University's one institution I wish to be affiliated with, probably in a parallel world.

It will definitely help you see things differently but you have to take the course with the willingness to change. If you are willing, you will be headed in the right direction for well being.

I really enjoyed this course and looked forward to seeing Professor Santos every week. The most useful thing I learned was that what I "think" will make me happy doesn't actually make me happy.

This is the perfect course to take while in the midst of a pandemic. Understanding how to overcome hedonic adaptation was especially helpful to me, as well as the wellbeing rewirement exercise.

Restarting course now that I have a more reasonable schedule to allow continued focus on it, especially considering it has an active homework (rewirements) to pay attention to through the week.
