Great insight and tips on how our approach is important to not just personal growth but the growth overall. The conclusion provided a recap on how to be accountable for the trickle effect.

Thank you for the course. It was a rather helpful overview, touching many aspects. However, I would wish it would go much deeper into those, not only mentioning or briefly explaining, but providing the required intuition, providing few excersises in order to explore the concepts and to start adapting them. Otherwise the knowledge will disappear quickly... The excersise with the friend (by sharing the feelings and needs and exploring it with each other) is, probably, the most helpful tipp - thank you! Also the resources part is quite helpful, although not quite clear, where to start and in what case to take what book...
