I will certainly do this course again as I only saw the Serenity Prayer used with those who have addictions. It is something to follow when life is turned upside-down and inside out.

I feel really grateful to have come across this course. It just appeared in my feed one day on Insight Timer, and something about it made me curious enough to begin—and I’m so glad I did. I’ve been a regular listener on Insight Timer for a while, but this course felt different. Each lesson built gently and meaningfully on the last, and the way the Serenity Prayer was woven throughout gave it a steady, grounding presence. By the final lesson on wisdom, I had a surprisingly deep emotional experience. The reflection questions opened something in me that I hadn’t accessed in a long time, and it felt both powerful and healing. I appreciated the simplicity, honesty, and care in how the course was guided. Nothing felt forced—just thoughtful and real. I plan to go through the course again, because I have a sense there’s even more there to discover as I continue to grow and reflect. Thank you, Paul, for creating something that truly reached me.
