    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 science behind well-being. I've shared the course with hundreds of educators in my district who are under extreme stress during COVID. I HOPE they take advantage of this offering.

    Wonderful tool for life! I was surprised how much it has helped. It seems like happiness is more about working for it than being lucky that it happens to you and that's wonderful news to me.

    Wonderful class. Really makes you think about your own happiness and what you think will make you happy vs. what actually DOES make you happy. You have to put in the work, but it's worth it!
