Description

This course is somewhat unique, as it is a collection of several independent minicourses 12 sessions each. The original idea was personal advice per vertical: engineers, doctors, lawyers. With time, the number of verticals grew and now it is a course for everyone. You may find that only one of the sections of the course really touches you or you may feel that everything applies.  People are different, but we also have a lot in common and we want to understand each other. Simply reading specific advice for people with different needs and skillset, is a great way to learn, especially if you want to teach others.
