Learner Reviews & Feedback for The Science of Well-Being by Yale University

Showed students exactly what we've all needed to know to improve our happiness, health, and awareness. The course breaks concepts down easily and introduces ways to improve overall well-being.

The lectures and supplemental materials were absolutely top notch. I had a liitle bit of a challenge navigating the user interface at times, but nothing significant at all. Time well spent!

I good overview of where science currently stands on happiness. It peters out at the end which makes it harder to focus on those changes discussed in the first half, but overall well done.

It was a good exercise to complete this course. Some of the content and exercises I already follow in daily life, but it was a good reminder and interesting to learn the science behind it.

The course was great. I have been studying happiness and positive psychology and the course was a way to see everything integrated and get ideas on how to put that information in practice.

Very well structured. And 'rewirement' is excellent idea.

Presentation could have been done better, different background, professor standing/walking... etc to make class more interesting.

The class was very informative and provided good insight into how to achieve my own happiness. The class would be more engaging if there were a way to have discussions with the professor.

I thought it was very thought provoking and gave me a different perspective on what makes me happy and being intentional in learning different things to help me build healthy habits.

This course was really helpful, especially so during the coronavirus pandemic. I found the lectures really engaging and I've come away from it with lots to think about. Thanks Yale!

This is not the end for me... Merely my starting point. Thank you Laurie for sharing your knowledge and experiences. I pledge to use these new skills for the rest of the 2020 year.

Definitely learned a lot about what makes me happy!!! I was able to pick up exercising, and even when I fell out of it after my internship started, my happiness score increased!

I really enjoyed taking this course. It's a good recap of a lot of things you secretly already know. But seeing it all together like this make you see it in a clear perspective

I'm still in the first week of the course, yet, so far, the material presented is absolutely phenomenal. I'm thrilled to continue learning and researching this amazing concept.

Must take course. I have enjoyed the most : Getting to know the techniques of the brain, how it can trick us. Methods of living a healthy life not only physically but mentally.

It's a nice course, but it was a bit hard to finish because it's not so dense in information. Also, the mood was too flower power for me, but I understand why it's like that.

Found it a bit repetitive at some point, but definitely worth doing this course. It really helps you find inner peace and helps you in many ways to be happy within yourself.

I'm in spirituality and yoga for many years so most of the course was nothing new for me. But there were things described from other perspective that gave me more awareness.

ONE OF THE BEST INSIGHTFUL COURSE AMAZING TAKE ON OURSELF ESPECIALLY THE TECHNIQUE PROVIDED THE TOOLS TO ACHIEVE IS JUST MIND BLOWING DEFINTELY ENROLL DONT MISS OUT ON THIS

I loved the professor and the course but would have liked a certificate actually sent from the school not one I paid $50 to print out myself. That didnt make me happy...lol

I would like to recommend to use more simple graphics to explain the concepts because the graphics that they were used during the course was difficult to understand them

Overall a great course, very informative, offering great personal insights to a learner o well-being and mindfulness as a daily practice. I would recommend this course.

enjoyed it very much, especially the first 6 weeks of the class which featured many lectures and guest videos.... great information... quite helpful and enlightening.

Very good teacher and kept me attentive.

Need to find out how to obtain tha completion CERTIFICATE that I paid for. Do not know whom to contact
