This course was amazing. It taught me a lot of valuable things and can take away the tools I need to live a happier life. I’d take this course again just to do more re-wirements.

Great lectures videos and engaging quizzes and tests! The re wirements were my favorite part of the course. It helps me to identify progress as well as barriers to new behaviors.

This was such an interesting course. Nothing could be more practical than learning how our minds are telling us the wrong things about what makes us happier. Well worth the time.
