This was a short course, hence chose it. I was also curious to know if this course had anything different to offer from the courses I already did or from the books I have already read.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><b>MY TAKE ON THE COURSE:<\/b><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was an utter waste of my time. After the first few sections, I did not even feel like listening to it as there was nothing interesting. It is more of a theory course than a course which mentions action steps. The title is misleading by mentioning it as what scientists don&#8217;t tell. For all the theory mentioned in the course, there are scientific experiments behind it and have been presented in other courses. The only useful aspect I found was the exercises for gratitude. That is something which I would definitely want to practise from now onwards.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><b>WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE THIS COURSE?<\/b><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have no clue about happiness and wants to know if it is something useful or not<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don&#8217;t believe in gratitude and wants to learn if it is really effective<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don&#8217;t know what makes a person happy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You never came across life-purpose and its relation to happiness<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><b>WHY SHOULD YOU NOT TAKE THIS COURSE?<\/b><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no subtitles. If you can&#8217;t follow English accent, you might not find it useful without subtitles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You already know enough theory and just want to learn implementation tips<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You feel sleepy if the voice of speaker is not motivating enough<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need interesting pictures and animations to stick to a course<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am not including the summary here as it is a paid course. If you are a novice in learning about happiness and don&#8217;t have much time to do a detailed research, you can go for this course. But if you have enough time and want to take concrete action on happiness, go for a life of happiness course on<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/coursera.org\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">coursera.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
