The Way to Happiness Course

"When I received my Way to Happiness booklet, I had no idea that there could be so much important information in such a small booklet. It has truly opened my eyes and taught me about survival. I knew some of the things I had done in my past were wrong. But I never knew about immoral behavior. I never knew what the word temperate was. Being a recovering addict and alcoholic this course has helped me to stay on the right track. It will be very helpful to me in teaching my children about what is appropriate for their future.

I truly believe every parent and anyone who is interested in doing the right things in life should read this booklet."

"Since completing The Way to Happiness and the final virtues I've learned more about myself than I thought I knew. And what I've learned I really like. It's the good side of me. The one who likes to help others instead of hurt. The one who loves others instead of hating them.

I've learned a lot about how to make others happy as well as myself."

"This course has made me realize where I have gone wrong in my life. It has re-established my self-esteem and self-identity. I wish that I could have had access to this course before I got into trouble with the law. These things I learned from the lessons I can and will be able to apply to my living on the inside as well as the outside. I will walk with more dignity and integrity once again."

- S.S.

"When I first started this lesson, "The Way to Happiness", it was just something to do. A way to pass the time. I was like, "yeah, right, how am I going to feel happy or any different in this place. I'm in prison!"

I was wrong! I began to enjoy the lessons and began to look forward to the next one and the next. It helped me release many thoughts and experiences which were yearning for expression, but in a positive manner; in a way that enabled me to evaluate my life and myself. I have learned to use past thoughts, experiences and the concepts in this lesson as a guide towards restructuring my damaged life.

Although I am not going to be released soon I continue to look for and expect change out of myself. The lesson kept me from idly sitting back and letting the circumstances dictate my life. I have more control of what I want and expect out of this life and myself. I have a better understanding, respectful and competent disposition. And in all I have learned The Way to Happiness!"

The Learning Improvement Course

"The Learning Improvement Course has had an extremely profound effect on me. I was one who would just find the needed definition and move on. Now I see the importance in grasping the full definition. The first barrier to study can easily be applied to an incarcerated existence, but with sketches and demonstration kits one can put in better perspective that which he/she is studying.

Not being able to learn is holding many intelligent and good hearted individuals from achieving certain goals. This course is truly a treasure. I do intend on putting to practice my new skills. Thank you and may God bless you all."

- R.E.

"This course has taught me a lot and has shown me why I had trouble with school classes in the past. The instructor was very helpful and honest in suggestions. This course has given me the courage to take a college course."

Understanding and Overcoming Addiction Course

"The Understanding and Overcoming Addiction Course taught me that drugs can and will stay in a person's system for years to come. By following a tightly supervised regimen you can cleanse the body of these substances. The information in this booklet can be used to help yourself, a relative or close friend come off drugs. The booklet also tells of why people start to use drugs. It also has steps to rehabilitate someone who has been addicted to drugs. This is a fully illustrated, easy to understand explanation of drugs and what they do to a person and how to help a person come off drugs."

Parenting Skills Course

"The "Children" course touched me more than any of the other 6 Criminon courses because it was a window into my soul, life and childhood. It clarified for me so many things that I had a basic grasp of and some understanding about, in my upbringing and helped me understand how I once became "anti-social"…I am no longer that person and now Criminon, particularly the Children Course, is helping me to better function in day to day life - with full peace within myself. The Children Course not only taught and helped me with understanding of children, but of myself in full scope!"

The Handling Suppression Course

"The Handling Suppression Course was a complex but interesting course. It helped me to identify potential trouble sources that I might have in my life that might be holding me back. If you have ever felt like something or someone was holding you back from your goals, then I strongly suggest this course, because it will really help you in that area.

I want to thank the men and women at Criminon for making this course available to people like myself who have not always made the right decisions in life. I have really learned things that might help me survive in society being productive and drug free."

Personal Integrity Course

"Personal Integrity, to me, has always been and will always continue to be the mainstay of my life. What I say I will do, I do; what is counted upon from me, will transpire. What I say is true. Criminon has made it abundantly clear that one cannot journey through this life without a plan, without guidance and without a goal. The goal promised by Criminon if one takes the golden opportunity to grasp it, learn and grow in each course offered is simple-success."

The Conditions in Life Course

"I recently completed the Conditions of Life course where I came to know and understand what ethics and justice is as well as the know-how of applying these things in my daily walk of life. I've learned formulas that apply to certain states of conditions in life. They help me understand what the condition is and how to elevate myself or help another who may be struggling in it. The course is inspiring and quite helpful in the development of a moral and just character. I look at things and people in my environment in the world differently from what I've learned in this course."

The Overall Criminon Program

"Criminon has provided me with all the means necessary to survive in the world successfully and with dignity and integrity. By applying all I have been taught and learned through Criminon I will be on the way to a happy, productive, prosperous life. I believe with the good material provided; a great, intelligent, sincere supervisor and an honest, sincere desire to learn, this course will provide unlimited opportunities for one to better himself in all aspects of happy, joyous survival. Many thanks to Criminon and to my supervisor, Molly, for her intelligent, kind, caring, patient concerns to teach me lesson by lesson."

- M.P.

"So far I've taken several Criminon courses, and I've seen a drastic improvement in my life, perceptions of others around me, my relations with others and how well I interact with the events/people around me. Before taking the courses offered by Criminon I was almost constantly angry at others around me as well as the events and general conditions of my life. Thanks to Criminon's courses I've learned to take responsibility for my actions, and conditions in this life, and how to improve these conditions through proper actions. Thanks for everything you've done, and I'll continue trying to live out the lessons I've learned (and will learn) to the best of my abilities."
