TOP REVIEWS FROM POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
It was really great journey , have read, seen and understood so much about small small things which never try to understand or know regarding the branch of positive psychology. Thanks a lot.
Very good course with excellent substance. I took this as a refresher as I have read both Positivity and Love 2.0, finding them to be life-changing and life-enhancing. Worth the money and the time.
One of the best psychology courses I have taken. I have learned so much and how simple it is to implement these principles into everyday life. Thank you for providing this rich material to all of us.
