I'd highly you do this course and its companion course Positive Psychology: Martin E. P. Seligman’s Visionary Science. I started them three weeks ago and the changes have been dramatic :)

Excellent! There was some common sense here, but plenty of new data and tools anyone can use in both their personal and professional life. A must for every human who wants to get the most out of life.

Good information, but very high level. Basically, we learn what exists but not how to implement it. For instance, we learn that mindfulness is a good resilience skill and why but not how to implement.

Dr. Reivich is an amazing teacher and a warm and relatable human being. I would like to suggest the use of some slides, now and then, for the key concepts addressed in her videos.

I really liked this course, the only thing i didn't like was that the suggested reading is not included in the course and the links take you to amazon to purchase books.

I took this last summer but had to retake in order to get the Coursera verification. Still super neurotypical and doesn't really reach me, but maybe i'm just broken.

Very well explained by the main teacher. But I would like to know more about neuronal process, trauma and behaviour changes in the process of resilience.

More detail and practical course with some introducetion on the theories. It might be better if some implementation cases can be added as Module 5.

Good course. Interesting. Only thing I would change is adding summary slides of the points the speaker makes. Other than than, I enjoyed it.

Really helpful course for anyone interested in improving their own resilience or coaching on resilience. Sometimes slightly repetitive.

The videos are good, but maybe some whiteboard or powerpoint to aid in the tracking of what is covered. Activities are awesome!

Great course, I would love to have more visual material to organize the concepts. But overall it was very good.

Some tools are new and very useful, but the course doesn't provide a lot of new informations as a whole.

Excellent presenter. More rigor needed in ‘assessments’ perhaps? Thoroughly enjoyed it

The thinking trap part could benefit from teaching metacognitive methods.
