This course helped me think of news ways to think and new ways to reach certain goals that I would have not thought about. It's kind of long but I was interested and completed the course feeling good.

Awesome, Awesome and Awesome.

It's a course for all especially in times like this where priority is being misplaced and people pursue happiness in the opposite direction.

I recommend this for ALL.

Amazing course, the science part was so interesting. Never knew that we are 'wired' to sabotage ourselves. Well worth taking and I recommend taking notes that you can refer back to. Just amazing.

It really helps you get to know not only just yourself but others as well. Following the rewirements helps you develop a good habit and also gives you a different perspective and take on things.

Amé este curso y la parte cientifica del well-being , el poder darte cuenta de que las cosas que crees que te van a hacer feliz no son las que realmente hacen un cambio o una mejoría en tu vida.
