What did you like about the course?

I've done well re-organizing my thoughts and keeping my ego from dominating my actions. This class did very well in helping to accomplish this, and re-invigorated my desire to stay happy.

What suggestions do you have?

The class was great, but the information presented is pretty easily accquired online, and for free. The price is a bit steep. The information is great and well-presented, however, so I do not regret taking the course at all.

What did you like about the course?

In going through this class this touches so much of my life in more ways than one that I can't really express how much help it has given me. Learning to controll that I have controll over all my thoughts and emotions will really benefit my future.

What suggestions do you have?

I do think there should have been more assignments that are evaluated to know that we are really learning what we are suppose to be getting out of the class.

What did you like about the course?

The class provided me with another 'tool' to deal with my ego and emotions (note the 'operative' word 'my' versus 'others') Other tools have included anger management and forgiveness which, in their own context, are valuable.

What suggestions do you have?

This course is deep, deep, deep. Although it might be counterproductive to insert such a disclaimer into the class (such might induce negative thought, right), I found Lesson 10, on meditation, to be more difficult for me to understand. Sometimes, in reading the explanations on thoughts, the edges of thoughts, what's behind a thought, etc. I found myself asking "just what are they saying, here". I must admit I am not well read on other schools of thought (Zen, Taoism, etc.) and found myself saying "a person could spend a lifetime learning about this or that philosophy", and had to conclude with "OK, just get what you can out of it". In summary the course was indeed wothwhile, challenging, and enlightening. Thank you.

1.how to stop the ruminating thinking. 2.lesson 8-the ill effects of ruminating thinking.(have the medical bills to prove it since 7-27-10) 3.lesson 12-stopping the excuses, blame, complaining etc. I was a an emotional, & now physical, mess, but have some tools now to stop - & deal with life more constructively.

    The literary references, so I can study more on the topic; the guided meditation; new web resources pertaining to self-enhancement; fascinating knowledge of basic neurochemistry.

    What suggestions do you have?

    Take a bit more time to proofread the material, correcting typos, (i.e.,' instead of ?), erroneous word insertions. I admit, I'm a perfectionist, but it would help make the material easier to read and be more polished.

    Maybe have it longer, 12 weeks with one lesson per week. I got a little behind on the lessons but wanted to take time with each one.

    What suggestions do you have?

    i would suggest a week or two buffer at the end to wind down. If you get behind you are in a hurry to catch up. Plus the discussions faded away and I think those are a valuable part. Feels kind of empty at the end.

    What did you like about the course?

    I have learned some strategies for disrupting my constant brain chatter. I enjoyed the different perspectives and focus on the "here and now" and that happiness is not down the road, but RIGHT NOW... I just have to realize it and enjoy it.

    What suggestions do you have?

    For some reason, there wasn't much banter and discussion back and forth between students. I don't know if we are all too busy or what, but I have seen on-line courses (albeit graduate level) where the discussion gets hot and lively and the topics really are debated and discussed, which in my opinion allows us to learn from others. Not sure how this can be done or facilitated but perhaps my one expectation that didn't occur. All in all, very helpful to me because I WANTED to learn to be better and to live without the constant brain chatter. thank you.

    This class exposed me to thoughts and ideas way beyond what I thought I knew and understood as an adult. The learing method and reading and video kept me engaged and the resources to accompany the class content was superior. I am on book 3 and have 2 more to go.

    Distribute yourself to more arenas to get the word out. This was time very well spent.

    I really have begun to think about my thought processes & how they affect my life experience. I have printed much of the info so that I can refer to it in my effort to change the way I think. I would like to experience more peace in life. The info make lots of sense in regards to how our thinking affects us & gets the better of us at times.

    What suggestions do you have?

    It was challenging for me to keep up with 2 lessons in one week. This was my 1st web based class & the first class that I have taken in years. So, I don't know if it was just due to my own adjustment as an adult learner or too much in one week. I am also a single mother & work full time so I had to learn how to fit it all in.

    What suggestions do you have?

    A little more time needed. The course was great and I would like to take it again some time later! Cannot do it right away! I would love to absorb more of it by reading it again. Great course!

    Don't believe everything you think. I liked the exposure to all of the different philosophies from various people. Then learning that all of them agree on certain aspects of self-actualization.

    What suggestions do you have?

    I am thinking that I would have gotten more out of the class if: there had been more participation on the discussion board by others; or maybe I need a face to face type of class. I really do like to hear different ideas and have discussions with other people. I am in the process of re-reading all of the lessons. I would have liked more information/help on meditating. Thanks, Gary.

    Being a witness of what is going on in my head. Realizing that a down mood is not who I am; it is just a current feeling.

    What suggestions do you have?

    I would focus more on meditation practices as a way to get us out of our heads. I sometimes had a sense of irony when I was exhorted to use critical thinking to change my thought patterns. I believe you can't think your way out of unconsciousness; only our hearts can wake us up. Thus, some sort of meditation practice seems to be a reliable way to come to awareness. If it were not so, meditation would not be considered a basic transformative practice in every major religion in the world. Thank you very much for offering this class.
