Dr. Jafari made you want to go to class ! She made the subjects interesting and relevant to her students. I would love to have her for another class!!!

The course includes generalizations with very little academic support. The "readings" each week will be TED and TEDx talks that are a similar theme. If you're familiar with TEDx especially this is clearly a problem for content being presented as a university course. A lot of time and promotion is given to questionable self-help gurus or individuals that are pitching their book/program and evidence based content is less common.

No one uses the discussion forums and the quizzes have frustrating errors. There doesn't seem to be a way to talk about or report these. The content of the course is comparable to watching random self-help videos on youtube.

this course gave me food for thought. I am mindfully observing myself as well as my surroundings.

Thank you Professor

Super awesome course, very practical and easy to learn! Instructor is very energetic and superb in connecting! Thanks!

i was having a really hard time due to university and this course was like getting therapy lol. Really helped me cope better, feel better, be more grateful, and taught me valuable life advice.

I think this course should be implemented through all the schools & universities. It 's the need for today's generation to learn it so that we can have better world tomorrow.

Thank you for this wonderful course. I am grateful for the knowledge I have gained, and I am excited to apply it in my life.

Thanks a lot, Dr. Mahtab Jofari.

This is really interesting and beneficial for us, managing stress and healthy life

Great information!

A short and crisp course for anyone, espeacially students who want to get back on track in their lives for better.

Fun, interesting with useful information

El auto cuidado mental y físico es esencial para llevar una vida equilibrada y satisfactoria. En mi opinión, dedicar tiempo regularmente para cuidar tanto de la mente como del cuerpo es una inversión invaluable en nuestro bienestar general. Esto puede incluir actividades como la meditación, el ejercicio físico, la alimentación saludable, la socialización con amigos y familiares, así como también el descanso adecuado. Personalmente, considero que el auto cuidado mental implica cultivar la atención plena, aprender a manejar el estrés y practicar la gratitud y el perdón. Estas prácticas ayudan a fortalecer la resiliencia emocional y a mantener una mente tranquila y positiva incluso en momentos difíciles. En cuanto al auto cuidado físico, creo que es importante mantenerse activo físicamente, ya sea a través de la práctica regular de ejercicio, la atención a la nutrición adecuada y el descanso suficiente para permitir que el cuerpo se recupere y se regenere. En resumen, el auto cuidado mental y físico es una prioridad en mi vida, ya que creo que es fundamental para disfrutar de una buena salud y bienestar en todos los aspectos.

It's a very informative and necessary course for all of us. The title "Life 101" is truly the best description for it. We usually don't pay enough attention to our everyday routine, and sometimes it causes many problems. This course & and Dr. Jafari say to you "Wait for a moment, take a deep breath, look around and change everything you don't like in your life. Because you're strong enough to change it and good enough to deserve something bigger and better than you already have. But, always remember to be grateful for what you have." I think we all need these words from time to time. Moreover, these are not just words. Dr.Jafari gives you very powerful but easy tips and tools for changing. She doesn't tell give up on everything and start all over again. Change it piece by piece. This way is easy, better, more productive, and less stressful. Many thanks to Dr.Jafari for this (one of the best I've even taken) course. It's so wholesome! Be kind to yourself, mates, and take care <3

I greatly appreciated this course. In some ways, it confirmed values and principles that I was already living by, and in some cases, it introduced new concepts of life's principles. These principles apply to everyday living and if practiced, enhance the holistic quality of life. Also, there were balancing mechanisms taught where we were taught to balance studying with other aspects of life and to make wise, holistic choices. We were also taught that everyone should have equal opportunities to maximize their potential, regardless of sex, religion, or ethnicity. Thank you, Coursera for this awesome opportunity to complete this course at my pace. I am a teacher by profession, but also a counsellor and life enhancer. The opportunities presented each weekend to review and comment on each other's posts were also very good. Finally, I am grateful to Almighty God for opportunities like this to sharpen my skills and help others to do the same.

Dr. Mahtab Jafari is a very passionate and great instructor, enjoyed every bit of this course. The course is simple and structured to teach us mindfulness in all aspects of life, be it the food you consume or the amount of exercise you do or even good financial practices. I have already started trying some of the simple practices. I wish to use this knowledge to help others. Thank you:)

Thank You Dr Mahtab Jafari for this Course and the collaboration with your Guest speakers, I've learnt how to manage my finance, how to stay happy always, I won't forget Dr Giovanni Douresseau talk on pattern builders and interrupters which teaches me how to break bad habit. I hope to meet you Dr Jafari one day, Thank You Coursera for providing this learning platform for me.

Very fun and informative class overall. The professor knows what she is talking about and pulls together guest lecturers to cover a variety of important topics for optimal well-being. The professor doesn't view stress the way that Kelly McGonigal does in her TED talk.

I agree with the review that said that there are errors in the quizzes, but they are minimal at this point.

This was a great reminder on how to take care of both your mental and physical well being. Dr Mahtab Jafari was very easy to listen to and very knowledgeable on all aspects of the course. There were great guest speakers throughout and the extra reading materials were very helpful. Thoroughly recommend :-)
