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 fun way of learning about personal thought processing, attitudes and well-being.

Very helpful course to get me to assess my life and how to make the changes I needed to improve my well-being.

Wonderful course. Have learnt to appreciate the happiness value of time-affluence instead of feeling guilty about having "slow time". Am clearer about what REALLY makes me happy.

It is a good course, all described topics are highly important because it tell us " how we can convert our bad mood into joyful mood throughout time regardless of circumstances" .
