This course is well worth the time and commitment and came out of this course with some valuable information and tools. I feel the more people that take the course, the better we can be as a society.

Awesome course. Many people suffer from depression and this course is great to understand and shift your state of mind. Can't solve a problem if you don't truly understand what's causing the problem.

The curse is well structured offering theories, concepts and practical activities to start the creation of new habits. It is totally clear in each step and if you engage in each one seriously you have a great opportunity to modify yourself deeply.

This course not only tells you what makes you happy, it explains why. It makes sense, and really brings it home by making you responsible for your own happiness and makes you engage in certain measurable behaviours so you can test it for yourself.

If you weren't aware of just HOW unhappy you actually were... take this course! You might have thought... "I'm fine"... and then when you actually improve and feel better... you realize - it worked! Still meditating... Woo! Thank you Prof. Santos!

This was amazing course backed up by a lot of scientific evidence. I enjoyed it! Some weeks it was more challenging to follow the lectures, but since I installed coursera to my phone it became way better than trying to get time in front of laptop.

This was so worthwhile doing. I have learned so much that I can keep using day to day and reflect back on when times are hard. Well done Laurie and everyone involved with the course. Just wish there was a part two that I could plan to do next.
