I loved that the course consisted of emails directly to me, they weren’t overly long, it was concise, and I really enjoyed the challenges at the end. I found the emails having the challenges really drew me in and made me want to really do the course.

This gave me more ways and techniques to be optimistic and it shows examples to back up the theories. I'm glad I took it.

I am very pessimistic, and I don't like it. I like the points in this, and I am trying to be more positive. Thank you.
