Learning Personal Development
Dr. Daniel Amen is quoted as having said "The health of your brain is much more about your actions than your age." There truly is a quote for everything, but just because someone says it doesn't guarantee we know how to accomplish that quote. Dr. Amen's quote is easily interpreted as staying active in mindful wellness in order to be healthy. With that in mind, we've found some courses for personal improvement which you'll find below.

This course offered through ISB tries to answer the question many others have asked in the past. What are the determinants of a happy and fulfilling life? By taking the course, the instructor expects a few things to be achieved by the end of it. He expects the students who have been diligent with their studies to know more about the science of happiness, but to also be significantly happier as well!
The University of Toronto has provided the course above, which looks into the relationships in our life. From romantic to familial to friends, all sorts of relationship insight is given. This course gets a little beyond the basics and can help students perceive their relationships and the relationships of those around them in a new light.
Lastly, we have a course offering from the University of Pennsylvania. This course helps students incorporate resilience interventions into their personal and professional lives. The tools gained in this course are directly applicable to the real world and helps you get the most out of your life!
