The course content is fascinating! Mitch does an exceptional job detailing concepts and breaking them down into simpler language
Great course with great contents (detailed experiences with results) delivered by a great teacher. Would have loved nonetheless, to find applicable use to what was shared. Thanks !
I feel we deserve to be given a list of references. This course begs the question of how to heal from popularity wounds, and how to be popular which were both not addressed at all. Very disappointing.

The course is well structured, videos are brief and Dr. Prinstein dialectic makes the topic very approchable, clear and interesting. I've really enjoyed it!
I found this class to be very informative. I wondered why some of the studies were dated and how the results might be different in today's world. Thank you for this valuable class!
