This course helped me think of news ways to think and new ways to reach certain goals that I would have not thought about. It's kind of long but I was interested and completed the course feeling good.

Very good course. Something different in these very unusual times. However, still struggling to get help on how I can review peer assignments so that the course can be considered completed?

An excellent way to recognised the things that makes us happy and we are unable to see them. It is a practical course that takes personal tasks into habits if we practice enough. V. Avalos.

Great Course. Well explained basic notions that we take for granted and usually we don't even think of questioned them. Helped me to be more aware and to put in practice some rewirements...

Really great course to find out more about yourself and ways to enrich your life. Great classroom format filmed in a living room environment, so it felt more like a discussion than a class.
