After taking this course:
You will be more honest with yourself and accept & be comfortable with your limitations. It's a fun, enlightening course; you may not change much, but you'll appreciate yourself more.
"Seeing is believing."
Don't count on it. Don't count on your brain giving you the facts either. Encased within your skull, your brain is blind, deaf and dumb. Your every thought, sense and emotion is a series of electrical impulses that your brain must interpret, based on guesswork and what it believes should be happening. When all else fails, it makes thing up!
In life, what can you trust? Who can you trust? How valid is your judgement, your logic, your understanding of others?
This course is unusual, it is designed to make you more uncertain. Bertrand Russell once said, "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." This course will make you wiser. Strangely, the more you are uncertain of life and all it includes, the more certain you can be of yourself. A benefit of being uncertain is it's easier to adjust to what you learn along the way. The more you adjust, the better your life. The more you hold on to old ideas, the greater the strain.
You must decide when and how to make profound changes in your life, or to keep doing what you've always done. The value of your decisions depends a lot on your perceptions and perspective, which is why this course was created.
Why should you take this course?
Your perceptions are not as accurate as you think they are
You do not think as clearly as you assume
Your perspective is skewed by forces you don't see
All of the above can be significantly improved
The better your perceptions and perspective the better your life
What makes this course different? I have spent almost sixty years seeking the secrets to living the ideal life. I help thoughtful/insightful people fulfill their potential by exploring significant life challenges. Your brain can let you down in an instant. The course is designed to make you less certain of who you are and what you know. This is helpful for two reasons, 1) your brain really does lie to you, and you can't always trust it and 2) it will motivate you to learn more and improve your life. It may also help you become a better listener. By the end of this course, you will be more understanding and accepting of the uncertainties of life.
Please join me. You have nothing to lose and a big step toward your ideal life to gain. You might become more humble, more accepting of others, more able to hear, more willing to compromise.
