I truly felt like I was in a classroom learning all the material! I greatly appreciated all of the real-world applications and hearing all of the different perspectives throughout each week and topic!

Excellent! There was some common sense here, but plenty of new data and tools anyone can use in both their personal and professional life. A must for every human who wants to get the most out of life.

I really liked this course, the only thing i didn't like was that the suggested reading is not included in the course and the links take you to amazon to purchase books.

Very well explained by the main teacher. But I would like to know more about neuronal process, trauma and behaviour changes in the process of resilience.

More detail and practical course with some introducetion on the theories. It might be better if some implementation cases can be added as Module 5.

The videos are good, but maybe some whiteboard or powerpoint to aid in the tracking of what is covered. Activities are awesome!
