    seem to be satisfied even though we are full of those things. It is because that we don’t know ourselves. Eric Fromm talked about human
    nature as two modes of being: “To Have” and “To Be”. If we are “Having” the nature of possessions, we are not satisfied, and feel empty and

    This course pushed me to make myself happy but when I approached in the middle of the course, one happy person is the sole factor to make his/her community a happier place to live. This course is powerful and the technique is novel and sublime.

    I understood that it takes time and effort to unlearn my learned behaviors. Through this subtraction method, I will practice self-reflective meditation to see a new myself. Thanks for introducing this method with real chats and examples.

    Reflecting on my past opened my eyes that my worries are from the false pictures I have taken.

    Thanks for creating this wonderful course.

    I learned how delusion and false pictures in our minds blocks the reality of our current situation. False world inside us makes harder to see clear the present moment. The principle to live happily is to live in present.

    Excellent course. Takes you step by step to subtract worries or events that remain in your mind. These memories make you look at the world in a false perspective. Helps you to be happy and focus on your goals in life.

    I did like the course and found it helpful. Though for me it was a bit of a beginner course. i also had a problem with understanding when Dr Lee had guests on and they were talking in another language. Hard to follow.
