Such a helpful course; especially as we began a season of quarantine. I am thankful to have more strategies in order to grow towards my optimal well being. Thank you for offering this course online.

Absolutely amazing course with a large dose of science and practical exercises. The instructor is very knowledgeable. It was a pleasure for me to attend the course and listen to Laurie every week. :)

Was good. There were a lot of points I already knew from basic youtube videos but there were also some new points about well being and positive psychology. The course doesn't go super in depth but I would say it's worth getting into especially if you're completely new to the concept of positive psychology.

Good insights, the professor keeps skipping things she told she would talk about, and she keeps changing one subject to another that makes it hard to grasp the concepts clearly!

interesting course, good "life work" to help you build positive habits of mind. Would have preferred more guided online conversations amongst participants.

The course should be based on a global culture, more generic and not so close to American culture and American authors.

In my opinion the teacher kept the same pace and voice, which made the course a little boring.

Nothing new as far as the educational approach. A nice compilation of data. Peer Review Assignment at the end left a lot to be desired. No quality feedback, real one on one with the educator due to the sheer volume/magnitude of the course. Guest videos were almost like salesmen with their published data.

I found a lot of it to be common knowledge and not the sort of wellbeing I was hoping for. I'm glad I've completed it but I didn't enjoy the lectures. I found them too clinical in terms of research and I found the lecturer too casual in her approach.

Ola boa tarde, eu gostaria de fazer uma solicitação, pois eu ainda não consigo classificar bem o curso pela dificuldade que estou tendo no entendimento do idioma, e possível trocar minha plataforma do curso de inglês para português ( pergunta). Mas se não for possível mudar idioma eu gostaria de ter o dinheiro do curso de volta. Mas eu prefiro que sera trocado para português para que eu possa fazer e ter bom proveito do curso. Obrigada.

With a background in education and human behavior—and having grown up on the West Coast surrounded by emotionally attuned, thoughtful people—I was surprised at how disconnected this course feels from real-world nuance. It’s oversimplified to the point of being condescending. Frankly, it comes across more like an exercise in ideological messaging than education. I took the initial assessment and couldn’t relate to any of it. It’s been frustrating and frankly a waste of my time

I can't do some stuff from my cellphone and my password won't let me log in from my computer. Even when I reset from my phone it still won't let me reset. It just takes me back to the course.

No está en español y no lo puedo realizar. Después de pagarlo lo presentan en inglés. Para mí 0 estrellas. Una decepción.
