I found the course content to be interesting and very well organized. I often find myself thinking about the ideas presented and how to apply them to my daily life. Dr.Laurie Santos did a great job!

Cannot recommend this course enough! If you're hoping to find out what really makes us humans happier, or just as a reminder for the strategies you already know of, look no further!

Excellent course, I recommend it. It clarifies many of the beliefs regarding various areas of life which are erroneous, it helps personal growth therefore it has an impact on others

It is a very important topic to learn how to be happier. Although being happy is the ultimate goal we are looking for, the real practical approaches are essential. Bravo, I like it.

I am impressed by this course. Realizing that I have spent a considerable amount of time mis-wanting, I plan to improve. I am for sure more conscious of wanting and ways to improve.
