Testimonials

Wellness Student
“I am in medicine and think this is one of the most beneficial, applicable, and important courses I have ever taken for both myself personally and as a provider…” 

LEAD Student
“You must take this course! Often, it is so easy to lose track of your values, meaning, and purpose, while at Stanford. This class will give you an opportunity to reflect on who you are and provide a sense of direction for where you want to go. One of the best courses at Stanford and the community we formed within the classroom is unparalleled to anything else.”

LifeWorks Student
“Being vulnerable to ourselves and in our journals, let alone in class, requires profound trust towards our peers and teachers. I don’t know what exactly it was about the instructors that made me trust them so much more deeply and quickly than any other Stanford community, but it is something you can’t fake. No other class at Stanford has had this large of an impact on the way I plan on living the rest of my life.”
