I am impressed by this course. Realizing that I have spent a considerable amount of time mis-wanting, I plan to improve. I am for sure more conscious of wanting and ways to improve.

Now that anxiety is swirling around, it's worth learning well-being to look at your feet. There are many articles and book citations, so you can learn theoretically and objectively.
