This is my first philosophy course. Many concepts were introduced but they are well explained with good reference materials. I have learned a lot thanks to the teacher's dedication in building the course

Very interesting course linking Buddhism and modern Psychology. Many of the things discussed are eye-opening and insightful. Recommend this course to anyone who are interested to learn how our mind work.

Fascinating course presented with wit and insight. I cannot imagine that there's a person out there interested in either meditation or psychology who will not feel wiser and stimulated after completion.

What a fantastic course! - I loved it as both an introduction to the key ideas of Buddhism, and as a fascinating commentary on the latest ideas in psychology. Thank you for making this course available.

This is a interesting overview about Buddhism comparing with insights of modern Psychology. Very well structured, interesting examples en easy to follow. Sometimes you have to reconcider your thought!

Sir is fascinating.

He has perfect explanations and examples to conduce learning.

Great course structure, in the sense that it has great build up and does not let us trail off at any point.

Simply wow!

Nice course, but my craving towards a certificate get me in a suffering state of being. Therefore I now have to do a lot of meditation to not identify and cling to the course and "no-certificatism".

Me ha abierto la perspectiva de felicidad en mi vida desde un punto de vista racional y espiritual, entender los mecanismos que he usado para ello y entenderme como consecuencia de una evolución.

I find this course greatly stimulating and has helped me gain personally. Thank you Coursera for this unique opportunity. I took this course to just motivate some body else found it good for me.

Although I do not have time to finish my assignments, I'd like to say: Your series of lectures have changed the way I look at life. Thank you, Robert and your inspiring dogs, Frasier and Milo.

Dr. Wright did a excellent job in presenting the material in a manner that was both informative and highly engaging. His unique take on office hours is the best I've ever seen. Great course...

Taking this course was a profound experience. It's one of the best learning experiences that I've had. Richard Wright is a brilliant man and his teaching is incredible. I would 100% reccomend

I really enjoyed this course and got a lot of useful information out of it. Much 'food for thought' as well as fun dinner conversation. I also found it to be very useful in my personal life.

Very nice course indeed, aimed at development of understanding of connections existing between Buddhism and Psychology. Robert Wright teaches online as I would expect it to be done in-person.

Enlightening confluence of evolutionary psychology and Buddhism. I found it particularly helpfully in going further with my meditations and having a deeper understanding of the way it works.

Incredible course, the Professor is an amazing speaker and the interviews with specialists provided awesome insights. This is the kind of course that can really affect your outlook on life.

Very good 1st course. At a time when I wanted to make sense of my life, this is a good course to take to learn on how to reflect and re-examine one's life and concepts of self and reality.

I really enjoy this course and I have learned so much!!!!. Thank you to everyone for this opportunity specially to professor R. Wright for making this course so easy to follow. Thank you

I had never heard of Robert's work before taking this course. I became very interested in his view of the work and of religions in general. I wish we had more courses taught by him here!

I believe the topic is right on the cutting edge of western cultural evolution. Robert Wright is not only informative and insightful. He's fun! Very grateful for this course. Jerry Shoot

Enjoyed this course very much, as well as the instructor. Thank you Mr. Wright, for taking the time to put the course together for us. (Thank everyone else too, including Milo & Frasier)

This is simply awesome. Professor Robert Wright has combined modern psychology and evolutionary psychology with Buddhism so seamlessly and complimentar-ily. I loved the course all along.

Wonderful introduction to the history, study, and relevance of Buddhist doctrine in the context of modern psychology. Great course to take if you're feeling particularly introspective.

Clear, succinct, articulate, grounded. More philosophy than psychology and philosophy is of street smarts brand rather than academic head in the cloud type, which is good. I recommend.

Excellent course for a person interested in naturalistic Buddhism and Psychology. Prof. Wright exposes many interesting themes in his elaborated and elegant style. Highly recommended.
