Our Student's Thoughts

"I now understand that thinking is a skill, not a trait.

Although I have always considered myself intelligent, I had never been formally taught how to think. I had mistaken memorization and the ability to understand complex concepts as thinking. Little did I know what thinking truly involves! This course truly expanded my horizons."

Laurel Boucher, The Management Edge

"I loved the course."

I loved the course. The content is simply amazing. I use the tools everyday"

Nicola Fiorivanti, MIT Media Lab

"Using my mind like a muscle."

" By actively carving out different perceptions and patterns of thinking, that is the true joy of doing work like this. Using my mind like a muscle, building and creating new pathways of thought. Thanks."
