Excellent course. Learned a great deal about our constant desire to want more and how if we stop and use some strategies to reflect we can see we have all we need. This contentment leads to true happiness.

Loved learning about the science of what makes us happy, what doesn't actually make us happy, and the things we should actually be striving for in our lives to have a more well-rounded, fulfilling existence.
