What our readers think
As someone about to start her training in life coaching, I have signed up for all the Positive Psychology classes on Coursera and am devouring Martin Seligman’s books. I have come across your website and immediately bookmarked it.
All this to say: THANK YOU for your hard work, keep it up because people need to understand there is a way to lead a meaningful life. We all have the potential and sometimes all we need is a little nudge, which you provide in a kind and graceful way.

I am open-minded, motivated, dedicated, flexible, and I love to work with people.
