This course can be life changing if you implement the concepts. I loved the professor and also loved the podcast that further goes into more detail about the things that actually bring us happiness.

Good stuff!!! Wonderful methods with excellent support tools ! I plan on trying some of these methods out with my patients that experience depression to see if they can potentially alleviate some of their symptoms.

Consistency is what makes this class worth while. You start off by learning then implementing for four weeks which coincide to make something a habit! I even had my parents participate and their happiness increased.
