Everyone needs to take this course. People don't realize what actually makes them happy - this course will help you learn what does and how to efficiently implement it into your life. I'll probably do this course a few times throughout my life!

I found this course to be helpful and informative. Of course, as the instructor states, the challenge is in creating and maintaining the habits. Nevertheless, understanding why I feel the way I feel and how I can impact it was very empowering.
