"A must-do for those who seek a journey of growth"
It was with Tal that I became passionate about the science of happiness. He has taught me about the underestimated importance of both "the geniality of the and”, and the courage to do “me-search”, to inspire an ever-evolving path in life that combines meaning, wellbeing and success.
Tal and his programs are a must-do for those who seek a journey of growth, fulfillment and happiness.
