Thanks for this course. It helped me to create some desired habits. I have also figured out some things which I didn 't know about myself. Particularly, I appreciated the test for personal strengths.

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.

i recommend this course, from outside it may seem a self-caring book with obvious solutions, but is a complete, concise and objective study about the well-being and how to manage your self happiness.
