This is a great class. I would recommend it to all ages. The combination of reading, videos, lecture, class discussion all added to the comprehensive look at what is "well being" and how do we recognize it and maintain it.

Fantástico. Se muestra de una manera científica la relación entre la felicidad y la ciencia en base a estudios realizados. La estructura del curso, el orden de los contenidos y las explicaciones están muy bien preparadas.

There is a method to happiness. The course offers concrete examples on how to achieve this. Professor Laurie Santos helps you be at ease and settle in so that you can absorb the information and skills you need to succeed.

I have found over my 67 years that very few courses fit their description or course title. This course, however, does exactly what it says, and has just the right combination of science and personal insight by Dr. Santos.

Informative and life changing. Thank you Laurie and thank you Yale for giving us the opportunity to be happier even in countries like Iran which due to the economic and political pressure people tend to be pretty unhappy.
