From Sandra:
I have become aware of the choice I have to live 90% in the upward spiral and I can feel love, peace, gratitude, whenever I choose.
From Andrew Hamling:
This work with all of its tools and insights has allowed me to transform my life. I was in a downward spiral and emotional going on empty, but didn’t even know it. With this educating I not only know there is more to experience but also the “how to.” The Emotional Gym is a tool I will continue to use. Thank you Dr. Bill.
From Mickey Arnold:
This class and completely removed my negative “oh shit” reaction. I now find peace and intrigue in my life. I look forward to a new day and new day for change. Change is now my friend.
From Cliff Nelson:
This work has been exceptional. I have changed my thinking from being a victim to be a co-creator of my own life.
From Marilyn Ushman:
This work has made me look at life and myself in a totally different way. My glass is half-filled where it used to be half empty. I am much more positive now. Even losing my job didn’t get me down. I know it was the right thing. I am grateful all that is in my life and all the good feels that I have gotten from this work.
From Steve Frank:
Wow! What an incredible class! I feel like it has really changed my life. I know it has changed my outlook on life and has taught me to think daily about where I choose to be on the emotional scale of life. I have learned to draw upon my strengths daily as my own and my own natural use of them, guides me through everyday life. Thanks, Dr. Bill!
From Mo Hainer:
Yes! This great work on the neuroscience of happiness has gotten me back on tract after long ten years of intense care giving and a death. If eel back in the groove again with a new gratitude- my purpose is clear now. I’m doing many things already.
From Madge Sutter:
The experience has eliminated brief depression and has supported and reaffirmed that visualizing healing from MS was possible. It kick starts my day.
From Lynn Worley:
My participation in this work has heightened my awareness of just how fabulous my life is, and how powerful I can be in co-creating the experienced I want.
I have always been happy-but now I am consciously happy, which is even better.
From Gary Griffen:
Thoughts, desires and wants that were displaced have come together with great definition. I have a greater direction with short and long term goals!
–from John Booker, AT&T
I would have to say, the most significant change in my life is my vision for the future. I know what I want in life. That is huge! Having some ideas, in the back of my mind, does not compare in any way to having clearly defined goals, visions, and dreams in writing. As I continue to learn and grow, I can change my goals. The FuturePac process also revealed some goals I would not have expected. I visualize my wants and desires and I know how I will feel when they manifest. I have learned the formula for discovering what makes meaning in my life. This was a fun process that I can’t wait to share with others.

I would never have guessed, not even in my wildest dreams, that I would be experiencing the personal deep changes in myself that I have, in such a very short time. Transferring to a positive mental outlook from the lifetime of negative internal verbiage that I have subjected myself to.

I have taken multiple (too many to count) workshops on self help, and ‘fix yourself now’ classes that either in days or weeks left my mind completely. The ‘change’ these classes promised was, for me, short lived or non-existent.
–from Linda Hyman, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
As someone who has suffered from Major Depression for almost four decades, this course has brought new people into my life, given me new strategies and ways of thinking and has given me the insight abd oppportunity to know that ultimately, I have full responsibility for my mental and emotional wellbeing and how I choose to live my life. Perhaps more importantly, I now have optimism that I can live to my fullest potential every day and actually be a happy person.

Despite this being a group of diverse adults - the individuality, uniqueness, and special talents of each man or woman was enhanced. Each was invited to “assert the mastery of his or her own authentic self” and magic happened both individually and as a group. I experienced this waking up of my authentic self over the course of the 20 weeks and watched with amazement as I saw it happen to my classmates. What a positive and life-changing opportunity this class has been for me to raise my vibration and to live the life of joy that I came forth to live! THANK YOU…

Dear Dr. Larkin (alias Dr. Happy) …
When I can’t get to feeling JOY … which is increasingly easier… I can always enjoy the gift of laughter recalling your “Oh great! … another day as Dr. Happy” stories and adventures.
In spite of the inability to articulate the brilliance and impact of this work … I know and embrace its value and importance with an ever expanding appreciation and respect.
I have never been as positively impacted or so inspired by any other learning experience … whatever the format and/or its good intent!
If all “masters of their trade” or educators had a fraction of your expertise and presented their work with such high level of preparation and professionalism … coupling it with your passion and humor … we could/would be an educated nation … hungry for more learning and evolving.
I don’t have to work so hard to retrieve or hold onto what I know and/or feel. And if nothing else … I am eternally grateful for being able to enjoy a deep sleep for almost the first time in my life. I do not wake up like shot out of a cannon and finally can appreciate why people love their snooze buttons.

Dr. Larkin’s book was extremely thought provoking. So much in fact, that when I learned a class was starting, built around the book, I knew I wanted to be involved. My experience has been enlightening and has changed my outlook on life. Good thing, as I was, as Dr. Larkin calls it, “flatlining”. Life had lost its joy.
Here I’ve found not only a philosophy, but a roadmap to a better life. But be forewarned, this is not a class to sit back and soak in new ideologies, leaving enlightened and changed. It can be all that, if you do the work. Not counting the daily exercises, I averaged 3 to 5 hours of homework each week. Frankly, the exercises often seemed trivial and time consuming at first glance. Yet, at the end of each homework assignment, I found I had learned more and understood the concepts more deeply, brilliant!

Dr. Larkin and Dr. Johnson, I wish to acknowledge you for presenting and facilitating this wonderful experience. In addition to this class I have found that my experience with each of you in our other encounters has been truly valuable. Not always the most comfortable, but valuable.
These past months and 20 weeks have provided some very strong momentum in my expression and I am confident that this will continue for the rest of my life here. My original struggle was to see where this work would fit into the “spiritual” aspect of my life, my work and my passion. Certainly I have found that there is an easy correlation to this work, the work of others that I still hold dear and the opening of Science of Mind at the top.

Discovering that I can change the neuropath ways in my brain with my thoughts and emotions has opened doors and presented opportunities that never occurred to me prior to this experience. I am now aware of my negative thought patterns and I know they do not serve me. I have always believed in being positive and through this course I now know there is scientific evidence that proves how that behavior can heal us. It also proves being positive gives us a solid basis to create our lives and attract the goals we desire and the ability to achieve them.

I am thrilled that I was able to take this class and receive this information. I am also glad that I took on a client because that pushed me into focusing more and to work harder to gain the understanding and do the exercises. The support you have given in the 6pm-7pm discussion group has been so valuable for me; and I really have appreciated and enjoyed this group as well as your enthusiasm.
I learned at a young age that something was wrong with me and when I became a teen I had wanted to become a psychiatrist so I could learn what was wrong with me to fix myself. I did eventually end up with a difficult marriage and ended up in marital therapy; but that did not fix anything. Go figure that! I did get my degree, a M.A in Transpersonal therapy, and in that process i had a lot of personal and group therapy. After 6 months of dealing with clients, I ran into my ex supervisor and told her that doing therapy was not the cure I expected it should be. She agreed and told me she had just left a 15 year lucrative practice. So began the search for me.
After many years working as a nurse in a psychiatric setting and medical/surgical nursing, I finally arrived here in Desert Hot Springs to help my youngest son; but truthfully, I know it was to meet Dr Larkin and this body of work. The minute I heard Dr. Bill speak at PSSEC, which my son had sent me to check out, I knew right then that this was the missing piece I had been searching for. I am forever grateful.

I am developing a new appreciation of myself, Who I Am at my Vibe core. Many of my strengths are about Transcendence something that has always interested me, and that I have spent a great deal of money studying, at the same time always noticing that a lot of people were taking Business, Marketing and Finance classes. Now, I value me. I am valuable. Yes, I have developed some great skills using the build-my-weakness-strategy; now it is time to focus, develop and play to what lives in me, what abides in me, what is the truth of me. I am a powerful loving being and as I play to my strengths, I have a great deal to offer to the world. I am a person of significance. I am Me.

I am the happiest I’ve been in seven years. I attribute that to the Emotional Gym, knowing and using my Signature Strengths and Talents, aligning my vibration to what wanted living in the UpSpiral. In actuality, I attribute that to “Growing the Positive Mind” and The Applied Neuroscience Institute Certification Course.

“The benefit of the VC in my life I understand why I put on weight and how I became aware of the vibration of what I was thinking, doing and how I felt about my body. So, applied this to my actions, and words I lost 25 pounds, what I have learned is that I do not need food to feel good. Wow!! I have set a goal to become more physically fit, with strength building exercises to stay in that vibration of healthy body.”
