I couldn't have asked for a better class to be offered during this time. Got to learn a lot about myself and why I think or do certain things without even thinking about it. Thank you for this course!

I had always wanted to take this course and because of the cancellation of so many things because of COVID I had the perfect opportunity and felt everyone could use a little more happiness right now.

Awesome course. Many people suffer from depression and this course is great to understand and shift your state of mind. Can't solve a problem if you don't truly understand what's causing the problem.

i recommend this course, from outside it may seem a self-caring book with obvious solutions, but is a complete, concise and objective study about the well-being and how to manage your self happiness.

This course has exceeded all of my expectations! If you are on the fence and wondering if it's worth your time, ask yourself this: "Who else is going to put forth the effort towards my well-being?"
