Reviews

Very good programme in enhancing one’s positive outlook. The course has clarified some of the misconceived perception I had with regard to positive psychology and brought light to my understanding.

Dr Barbara Fredrickson help me realize the value of positive emotion and the message of negative emotions. The emphasis one should prioritize on both emotions and connection and love between them.

In the long run, this course will help me learn to be positive rather than negative and that we should appreciate one another and that good smile and happiness rub on each other. thank you

I just love this course. I'm a software engineering student but I love human psychology. This positive psychology helps me in my real life a lot. Specially the meditation part. Thank you so much.

It was really great journey , have read, seen and understood so much about small small things which never try to understand or know regarding the branch of positive psychology. Thanks a lot.
