Course Description
This free course is a work of fiction and is based on a book that I wrote for my kids to help them set their life goals, find their passion and purpose and increase their overall happiness. Please either listen to the course as an audiobook or watch and listen to the course (your call). Thanks
The following quote from Steve Jobs best describes the journey that we will take together in this course, which will help you find your passion, purpose and path, while increasing happiness (while helping you set goals)!
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition." - Steve Jobs
I hope you enjoy my humble first attempt at fiction; I also hope this inspires you to live, love life on your terms and to follow your heart in order to discover your true passion in life...wow that was a long sentence....don't worry as this book is short! : )
I also attached a free version of the book in Microsoft Word and PDF formats in case you wanted to complete the 2 simple and short exercises in this course on Goal Setting and Happyness (I 'mispelled' that last word as a tribute to one of my heroes, Will Smith) : )
Closed captions have been added to all videos in this course.
Thanks,
CH

Bizarre story with ultimate "follow your dreams" that some may find motivational but others might be looking for more specific advice. Best thing hands down is the scenery.
By Octovia Jansen on 4/18/2022
this course is amazing, i learned that i need to let go of others controlling the compass of my life, and that i need to take control of that compass and allow my soul ( passion) to guide me in the steps i need to take.

Really amazing content, and I personally loved all the favorite quotes used. Definitely one of my goals is to write a short story or maybe a book (still pondering with an idea though)...Thank you so much for creating this and sharing this on Udemy.

Chris Haroun words are always a valuable source of inspiration thanks to their positiveness! Chris gives us motivation to be the best version of ourselves on everything we do, everyday we live!

I thoroughly enjoyed this fantastic course that helps to unlock your hidden potential. The story packs a lot of wisdom that is worth investing time in. I like how the passion and energy is jumping from the video. I love all the quotes that Mr Haroun uses. And I love the advice he gives. The course gave a lot of examples, tips, and bonus material. There are several free resources which increase the worth of this already very valuable course. I would recommend this course anyone looking to make a change in their life or wants to achieve more.

Since I retired in 2015/16, I've learned so many things, and I continue to do that. I wanna do that forever... These videos are so positive and inspiring that I'll keep them close to watch whenever I want and wherever I go!

Great free course! It has a really slow start, which may be a bummer for some, but if you get past that, the story escalates and turns with a good plot twist, just like "punch club" movie. I would recommend it to anyone who like fiction and wants to think about what life is all about.

Chris has done a great job on this course! I was able to take the journey with him and relate to some of his pitfalls and successes through the many experiences he shared. I'm still on the journey to finding my passion & purpose in life. After watching, now I have some guidelines on how to go about it - take the less traveled road and have fun during the journey. It might not look good or make sense at first, but I trust that it will eventually show up since everything that happens to us has already been planned. We just need to trek it. Thank you Chris! I also like the graphics and videos you shared here. Very crisp and solidified some of the points and lessons.
By Toshihiro Kimura on 8/1/2018
Dear Mr. Chris. I found my purpose and passion in this course the way you walked. I get known the road that I have been walking on was incorrect. With reference to this course, I can set new goals from now on and will follow my path. Thank you. I can always understand your course well with rich reference examples and polite explanation.
By Todd Walker on 4/19/2018
Somethings were insightful other part of this was too much storytelling but I get that part and what they perceive the meaning of life is
