Wonderful tool for life! I was surprised how much it has helped. It seems like happiness is more about working for it than being lucky that it happens to you and that's wonderful news to me.

It really has helped me before this course I really felt sad and anxious. Not I still feel this stuff but I have hope and I now know how to get out of this feeling and how to get my mood up.

Wonderful class. Really makes you think about your own happiness and what you think will make you happy vs. what actually DOES make you happy. You have to put in the work, but it's worth it!

J'ai vraiment apprécié le contact avec Laurie Santos et la qualité des vidéos, du texte qui les accompagnait, la clarté des explication, les quizz et travaux de "recablage" demandés... Merci

Im just a few weeks in and I love how simple and to the point the it is. As long as you maintain the journal and follow up thoroughly its a good study of well being and makes you feel better

This course has showed that simple is better. wanting more is only causing me more stress. and when I begin to dislike things, I stop and rethink the situation and see how it could be worse.

It was one of the greatest course of my life. It taught me the things that give happiness and the things which we misinterpret will give happiness but they don't. It's truly a masterpiece.
