TOP REVIEWS FROM THE SCIENCE OF WELL-BEING
presenter is very good .
i love her.
the content which i learned here in this course is actually intuitive and i have heard and read from different sources , but here its different.
thank you
The course is about the Science of Happiness. A great reminder of what we should be thinking about.
A little too focused on young students and more examples required for older students on coursera.
Thanks for this course. It helped me to create some desired habits. I have also figured out some things which I didn 't know about myself. Particularly, I appreciated the test for personal strengths.
This course really helped me a lot, I am grateful with Laurie Santos and her team, the people involved into this great project. The oriented me into understanding valuable states of being and actions.
