Nah. It was so easy to listen to on the radio promoting this, but gets a bit repetitive for my taste. Still haven't finished it.. "I think Rick Hanson is great, and this is a fantastic program" according to Sara Crain. I think Rick Hanson is great, and this is a fantastic program, very much an experiential, practice-as-you-go class (as an audio book). My issue with it is that, as a fan of Rick Hanson, I already am doing a more extended version of this course through his "Foundations of Well-Being" so this course is redundant. I mean, it's good material and is presented slightly differently, but is basically the same stuff. I'm writing this review just to advise others who may be in the FWB course that this is not markedly different from that.. He's an amazing teacher. Deb Full of wisdom and lots of short, efficient and effective ways to put that wisdom into practice. A gem - I could listen over and over and still find so much more to learn. He's an amazing teacher.
