“I was introduced to a new way of looking at the world”

I regard Professor Rao’s course to be the highlight of my MBA experience…The course caused me to totally reevaluate my career path… [...] I was introduced to a new way of looking at the world, and given a forum to express ideas I had always innately felt but never heard expressed…
Additional benefits of the course are too numerous to list. They include: my new commitment to running (as a result of the course I began training for the New York City Marathon), an avid interest in learning about quantum physics, a renewed exploration of my spirituality, and more intimate relationships with many of my friends.
From a professional perspective Professor Rao’s impact on my life was perhaps even more profound through exercises in the course I finally gave myself permission to identify and finally follow my dreams of becoming a writer.
