Marvellous.!

Very good course that integrates many things that we know by reading about sleep or making excercise but not really as a whole. Easy to digest and put into action for the future

Loved it, loved the fallacies and the statistics... could do with idiot's guide to using the videos as I didn't discover the subtitle options until halfway through the course...

Pena é haver um custo para ter direito ao certificado. No entanto, poderia haver um simples documento, mencionando que o formando concluiu determinado curso com aproveitamento.

Not like the other courses focusing usually on profesional aspects and career. I would usuallu have to pay to get this kind of insight if it wasnt for the course. Thanks a ton.

This course helped me navigate a divorce, a pandemic and a racially divided, emotionally charged time in history. Couldn't have done it without this course and the rewirements.
