Awesome course. Many people suffer from depression and this course is great to understand and shift your state of mind. Can't solve a problem if you don't truly understand what's causing the problem.

Loved the course. Filled with so many eye-opening nuggets as to what actually does (or doesn't) make us happier. Would recommend this to anyone wishing to learn more about the science of well-being.

Wonderful instructor and a great course to realign yourself and to help you think in a more positive mindset by giving you tools that are feasible if you take the time to apply them.

Cannot recommend this course enough! If you're hoping to find out what really makes us humans happier, or just as a reminder for the strategies you already know of, look no further!

Excellent course, I recommend it. It clarifies many of the beliefs regarding various areas of life which are erroneous, it helps personal growth therefore it has an impact on others

It is a very important topic to learn how to be happier. Although being happy is the ultimate goal we are looking for, the real practical approaches are essential. Bravo, I like it.
