This course was quite helpful especially during the current pandemic. It helped reinforce habits I already had and reinforce the need for ones I hadn't quite implemented. I highly recommend this course to all!

It's the answer to WHY people nowadays seems so unhappy even they've been trying to pursue happiness. This course simply told me that what I thought I knew about happiness and well-being are (almost all) wrong.
