I have taken a dozen courses online. This is the most challenging and fulfilling course I have taken so far. And I believe that the course shall be beneficial to all people in different walks of life.
Very relevant course for a hectic young adult life full of pressures. Exposes the illusions and assumptions many of us have about what (will) makes us happy and gives solutions on how to change that.
Love this course! Best class I’ve taken. I teach Social Skills and there are so many things I can incorporate into my classes as well as tools I can use in my own life! - Thank You! Jessica Rhoades
