What courses would you like to see TPM review next?
Moving Lucio's post in this thread here because I think it'll make it easier for readers to find what they're looking for this way:

I saw an ad on FB and clicked on it.
What intrigued me most frankly was the price tag.
At $2499 it's one of the biggest-ticket courses that's not from an obvious scam-master that is more focused on upsells than good products (ie.: Grant Cardone, Dean Graziosi, Tai Lopez, etc.).
I think she's got her marketing on point: when you google "b-school marie forleo" you get her own ad, going to a "free training".
I'm guessing she knows the price tag is too big at first, so she needs to first familiarize and entice the audience with up-the-funnel marketing.There are many reviews online, but many of them are affiliate reviews that seek to make a sale.
Would be cool to review it properly for TPM one day.
Thank you so much, Ali!
It did feel "not good" to post in the book thread, and now thanks to you we can be more accurate.
I may later move a few posts that are about courses from that book thread.

If anyone knows of any great book or course or talk on critical thinking skills, logic, and generally "how to think", happy to take any recommendations.
I have a few university critical thinking courses on my list:
- Duke University | Introduction to Logic and Critical Thinking Specialization
- Cornell Certificate Program | Critical Thinking
- MIT | Critical Thinking and Decision-Making
However, those are all pricey certifications.
One Udemy course I added today though was this one:
- Critical Thinker Academy: Learn to Think Like a Philosopher
High reviews, but I don't expect to receive much value from it.
Another one that I was aware of but chose not to add was Mark Manson's course:
- Challenging Beliefs: Don’t Follow the Crowd, Learn to Think for Yourself
This one has good marketing but still doesn't fully come across as a critical thinking course to me.
And, finally, one I just discovered today:
- Online Courses in Critical Thinking by The Foundation for Critical Thinking
This one looks like it may be one of the most promising (and I'm adding their flagship certification course to my list today).
Note: I have a whole separate list of courses for logical thinking and another list for deductive reasoning.
Hello TPM team,
I warmly recommend this course by Jocko Willink: How to build relationships.
It's a leadership course and as said elsewhere it's a game changer. I was going all wrong about leadership. Did a 180°.
For the value inside of it I even consider it cheap ($250). I'll keep these lessons with me for my whole life.
Just finished it and it's a bomb. I'm doing other courses will let you guys know.
Thank you for sharing John!
If you've taken any notes and want to share those -even as a picture-, happy to read more (and if not, still thanks for sharing).
Yeah I can share them I've got the notes as you can imagine.
I can send them to you in email form. Here I don't want to spoil it for people. Going through the course and listening to them is what gives those "Aha!" moments. It's like PU the pirated version: because it will be an older version and not as good. Same thing. The value is in the course.
If that's ok with you I'll send them in email form.
I prefer here John.
But if you don't want to share here for whatever reason, all good.
Hello Lucio,
I already sent it as I read your message now.
Yeah as I said I prefer not to spoil it for other people.
Thank you for your understanding.
I wish you a great Sunday.
I recently stumbled upon this site: Encyclopedia of Power
They currently have a "social warfare" course which seems to be similar to PU but less extensive, at least judging by the sales page.
I haven't gone through the course myself, but the whole website strikes me as a TPM ripoff.
If anybody has checked it out I would be curious to hear what you thought of it.
