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!

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. :)

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.

I was pleased to see a formal course on "well-being" offered by Yale and think this focus is so important for individuals. I truly hope for the many leaving positive reviews this course changed their lives for the better. However I have to say, a few modules in and I'm honestly shocked this course is from Yale and had to stop. There were so many flaws in the presentation that the opposite of learning and enlightenment was happening for me. I understand what the professor is attempting to do by presenting material in a casual way to be approachable for college students, but I really hope Yale students think more critically than the "facts" presented here and challenge her content. It was also worrisome that many of the pop-up questions during videos were testing my knowledge of this overly simplified material. (One example: "What percentage of your happiness is due to life circumstances? 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%" without appropriately framing the question). The professor makes blanket statements from "what the science shows," drawing some extreme comparisons and ignoring the population or possible explanations for correlations, instead focusing on causation without much critical thinking demonstrated. Even if this is a quick means of illustrating her point to segue into tools individuals can implement, the presentation is majorly flawed. What is the population focus here? Well-off college students? What is the message? I worry that the presentation of this content grossly ignores marginalized groups when illustrating the factors that dictate "happiness". She presents generalized findings as immediate truths using language like "right" "wrong" "proven" which is concerning. I couldn't make it to later modules that explain the "tools" that may indeed be helpful because the presentation to me is so poor. I'm very surprised by the insanely positive reviews and hope the college students in this course challenge presentations such as these more critically. Particularly if they not only want to obtain happiness from within, but have a better understanding of the world around them and the impacts of life experiences on other individuals. Perhaps a little harsh- but to me it presents like a guru that pulled a few studies she could use to support her self-help toolkit and tout a successful wellness course. Perhaps for some the later modules are life changing - but for me- yikes.

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.
