Description
Life Skills: Finding Your Purpose, Happiness & SuccessNo one want to waste their life. But what is the right way for you to live? Should the right way change as you grow older and learn? Do you stick with the tried and true? Who knows what's best for you? This course says that only you know the right way. And this course will help you be confident in your choices.There are four usual ways of living:        1. Making it up as you go along and at some point, often too late, realizing you've missed out.        2. Living as well as you can day by day, working hard, keeping your nose to the grindstone.        3. Deciding early your life purpose and sticking to it.        4. Deciding your life purpose and continually refining it. Most people live versions of 1 and 2. Life isn't easy and just getting through the day demands just about all you have. As American writer Henry David Thoreau once said, "The mass of men live lives of quiet desperation." These hard-working yet struggling people, the majority of people in the world, can still enjoy portions of an ideal life.Luckier are those who pursue #3. Mother Teresa comes to mind. With the passion of youth that lasts for a lifetime, these people throw themselves into a purpose-driven life.  Rarer are those than find purpose, and continue to improve how they live it. These people can reach the height of success in one area, then dedicate themselves somewhere else with equal or greater effect. Many women do this almost without thinking about it. A single mom makes it through college and begins a career, then starts her own business before giving it all up to become a doting grandmother.Which are you at the moment?This course will help you find your way to living a life of purpose no matter what your circumstances.There are many such courses, each with plusses and minuses. You need to find the one that speaks to you. This course focuses on realistic and measurable goals. You decide what you value, this course will help you do that. Then you decide how you will achieve a life of value. This course will help you do that too.   Course instructor Bob Brown has done that for himself beginning when he was 17. And as in #4, has been refining it ever since (now at age 76). He received a doctorate in psychology in 1973 which included classes with Abraham Maslow famous for the "Hierarchy of Needs" and Viktor Frankl, perhaps the best known name in the field as author of the world-wide best seller, Man's Search for Meaning.If you are searching to find or enhance the meaning of your life, take a moment to examine this material. Bob will help you create your ideal life. A Set of Courses for Exceptional LivesThese courses are ideal if you want to live a unique, independent life, separate from the herd. They’re for you if you seek a full and meaningful life, but aren’t sure how to do that.Life isn’t easy. How can you know with confidence you’re doing it right? You have searched, but don’t yet feel totally confident. A thousand books and courses offer a thousand ideas. Bob’s courses go a step farther. He doesn’t tell you what to think, but what to think about.Bob's courses follow that old saying, "if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, if you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." Bob teaches both skills and concepts. If you want both training and an education, this is the place; tools and ideas. Each course provides ideas to explore and skills to try out. You choose the topic and in about three hours or less, you’ll acquire advanced life skills, enabling you to build a life unique to you.This set of courses is ideal for these topics: Personal Development, Life Purpose, Motivation, Communication Skills, Listening Skills, Relationship Building, Positive Psychology and Spirituality.
