I say this for Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow that every thinker needs to read that book. From now on, I am gonna say this about this course too: every learner should take this course.

students who took this course could read the book called "how to become a straight-a student" by Cal Newport. some of the statements are similar to the course so i think it will be more helpful.

Initially, I thought this was going to be boring course since people like me would rather sign up for technical areas. At the end was different.Now, I feel like signing up a motivational course.

I am now able to approach "difficult" tasks with confidence. The pomodoro technique is my key takeaway form this course, I use it all the time. Small focused efforts contribute to the end goal!!
