This course is wonderful! I recommend finding a group of people (at least one other person) to take the course with so you can have a support/discussion group to work through the content with.

My definition of Well-Being is "Life as it ought to be." I would ever be thankful to Yale University, Coursera, and the Prof. Laurie Santos for teaching me this practice-oriented Life Science.

I loved that I could do the course at my own pace from my own home. But I always had the chance to "talk" to my peers in the forum. Also, the interviews and additional links were very helpful.
