“This is the second time I’ve attended Three Desires because it counteracts myths in popular psychology, and I wanted to get the correct perspective engrained. I learned the importance of understanding desires and how they effect relationships. I also learned that opposing desires generate conflict. I’d recommend this to anyone who works with others. The seminar is so good, and Mr. Bender’s style is excellent.”
