Very well presented.
Plenty to think about in each lesson and presented in a manner both low-key and inspiring - an unusual combination.

Good common sense
This is the second course by Dr. Bonura that I have purchased and both have been very helpful. I like the straightforward presentation and the backing with science research studies. Because I'm retired I was able to skip the session on energy in the workplace (whew).

Great Course, Great Instructor
Instructor speaks clearly, calmly, and confidently. She obviously lives what she teaches. I found the course very affirming of the way I choose to live my life. But I learned where I needed to do more to help myself and how best to do that. An enjoyable and helpful course.

Lethargic Presentation
No actual insights into how to Boost Energy, mostly just stats and fluff talk, time-filler talk.

Not that energizing
Some of the lectures provide greater insight, but it tends to be a bit redundant. This course is more about improving mindfulness than boosting your physical and mental energy

Not interesting
I know this is very superficial, but I found it difficult to take this lecturer seriously since she didn't care about her appearance. Watching her was like a junior who had yet to learn the ways of the business world. If I closed my eyes, it was okay
