  “I am glad that I took this course because I learned more about the traps that we fall into like being busy and having unclear priorities and how those make it easier to be influenced by consumerism because we think it solves out core problems. I also learned about the various behavioural hurdles, harmful habits and social pressure I need to overcome.”

  “Very well written and presented.”
