This course has exceeded all of my expectations! If you are on the fence and wondering if it's worth your time, ask yourself this: "Who else is going to put forth the effort towards my well-being?"

It was one of the greatest course of my life. It taught me the things that give happiness and the things which we misinterpret will give happiness but they don't. It's truly a masterpiece.

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.

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.
