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!

Great mix of studies and tools - and the focus on practice application really makes a difference (I read four assignments of peers and everyone reported an improvement in their happiness scores :) ).
