It opened my eyes to the "magical" world of positive psychology. This course taught me that those magical moments that we want to experience are actually within our reach if we only choose to cultivate those micro-moments where the seeds of positivity can be sprinkled so they can sprout and flourish in the days of your life; hence, living a life of positivity.

Really well organized course to get you into the principles of Positive Psychology and the scientific findings of what emotions and specially gratitude and love are.

This course was interactive, research based and highly engaging. I found many practical strategies that I can take to increase my own personal sense of positive emotions, though that was an added bonus. I was fascinated by the way in which the instructor wove all sorts of connections between positive psychology and other fields. I highly enjoyed this course.

I started this course early and was so excited to learn this new information I just dove right in! Unfortunately I am too far ahead and have to wait a few weeks until I can take my week 2 quiz. Instead of binge watching Netflix at night I get my nightly dose of Positive Psychology! I recommended this course too all of my friends, family and co-workers.

Thank you for this opportunity to enter this course. I learned new things about positive psychology and strengthened my conviction that you need practice all these good things (notice good things, emotions, say "Thank you" - even for a small things, share your good mood with others...) and enjoy everything what life gives you:) Thank you so much!

I think this is a great course for everyone. This helps positive feelings towards self and with everyone one connects and thus help create a positive aura around self. This way you create small groups of positive circles and then they share it with others and then it multiplies... Everyone should go through this course to remain healthy and happy.

Barbara Fredrickson and her team have given me solid knowledge on the subject of positive emotions thus enticing me to find out more about it by looking for other courses on the topic. I'm now registered in a post graduation course in Positive Psychology and I'm feeling much more confident about my choice for this course and for my future steps .

Strongly recommended.

Dr. Barbra Fredrickson sheds light on a subject that is essential to the fulfillment of a well lived life. This is the good stuff. As I implement these simple practices into my everyday life I reap the rewards of energy, joy and closeness to others that is so often lacking in modern times. I highly recommended this course to everyone!

MUY INTERESANTE, PROVECHOSO, FRUCTÍFERO E INTERPOLINIZADOR PARA UNA VIDA PLENA DESDE LA CONEXIÓN Y SINCRONÍA EN UNIDAD DE CEREBRO, CUERPO Y MENTE INTIMAMENTE RELACIONADA CON EL SENTIDO Y AMOR DESDE LA ESENCIA DE CORAZÓN A CORAZÓN MUY INDISPENSABLE EN NUESTRA VIDA INTRAPERSONAL E INTERPERSONAL DESDE UN ENFOQUE INTEGRADOR Y HOLÍSTICO.

This course may have covered concepts that I am already familiar with due to my social science background however being able to view things from a fresh perspective and to create something good out of them will be beneficial for everyone. Completing this course has made me ponder on pursuing a master's degree in Positive Psychology.

es muy gratificante haber terminado mi curso, gracias Dr Barbara, y a los panelistas, fue un reto grande en un comienzo por que mi idioma nativo es el español, pero gracias a la tecnología eso no fue impedimento, adentrarme en la psicología del positivismo es un viaje que hasta ahora comienza, bendiciones para todos, éxitos siempre.
