I thought I'd join, but the more I read the more spiritual and mumbo-jumbo the course appears. From the course overview:

  Week 1. Signature Strengths
  Week 2. Savoring & Gratitude Journal
  Week 3. Kindness & Social Connection
  Week 4. Exercise & Sleep
  Week 5. Meditation & Gratitude Visit
  Week 6. (It's a SURPRISE!)
  Week 7. Rewirement Challenge Part 1
  Week 8. Rewirement Challenge Part 2
  Week 9. Rewirement Challenge Part 3
  Week 10. Rewirement Challenge Part 4
Just for starters, what's the deal with "gratitude"? Isn't that a spiritual concept? Why not go straight to the root and dislodge the root cause of resentment itself? Gratitude treats the symptoms -- it counters resentment -- but does not eliminate it. As an intelligent HNer we should not fall for these superficial traps.

EDIT: So a group of people have taken to downvoting my comments, instead of intelligently addressing them. Apparently I made a blasphemy, attacking a religious concept (gratitude). LOL.
