MLO 408: MLO-Based Resilience Course
Learn about awareness, the power or self-analysis, increasing mental strenght, Superior Heart Intelligence, and broader Life Intelligence.
With Dr. Manijeh Motaghy
FROM the Art of Happiness Series!
Overview:
The MLO-Based Resilience Course is a six week course covering important aspect of inner strenght that gives one resilience in the face of difficulty and uncertainty.
Resilience is often described as the ability to bounce back after difficulty. But resilience is more than enduring, pushing through, or returning to how things were. It is the inner capacity to be clear about what is happening, remain stable and steady through each obstacle, and respond with greater courage, wisdom, and kindness to oneself and to everyone involved.
Our new six-week course, MLO 408: MLO-Based Resilience, draws from the Mindful Life Optimization™ lessons and methodology to help you strengthen such essential inner capacities.
Together, we will explore:
- Awareness and the power of self-analysis
- Mental strength and courage
- Superior Heart Intelligence
- Broader Life Intelligence
- Practical ways to navigate change, uncertainty, and life transitions
Each session will include short MLO teachings, meditation, questions and answers, community sharing, and daily practices to help you apply what you learn to your life.
Each session includes topics that prime participant’s perspectives, life intelligence, and courage to withstand difficulties that come from change and transformation as we go through all kinds of transitions in life.
The MLO-Based Resilience Course Includes:
- Short lectures on MLO topics (see MLO Theory)
- Meditation
- Q & A
- Community share and learning from one another
- Daily practices

For many years, I have attended numerous of Manijeh’s classes, retreats, and meditation sittings. These have been the catalysts and ongoing support for a continuing practice of mindful awareness, meditation, compassion, and loving-kindness. Manijeh’s depth of knowledge and wisdom have guided me in my journey of personal growth. Her offerings are an investment in self-care and self-love while promoting a peaceful global community.

Manijeh’s teachings have helped increase accountability with myself, improve in habits/actions regarding our planet and increasingly become a better clinician. Her Life Optimization Method and approach exceed the training and education we’ve received to become therapists. It incorporates more depth into treatment regardless of diagnosis. It helps achieve a healthy happy lifestyle rather than just coping strategies/tools

I’ve taken several of Manijeh’s classes over the years, most recently her Art of Happiness courses and a day-long retreat, and I’ve always found her work genuinely helpful. What I like most is that what she teaches is practical. I can focus better, think more clearly when I’m dealing with something difficult, and I’m more patient with things. I’ve actually noticed those changes in myself.
My children have also taken Manijeh’s classes, and that means a lot to me. I’ve seen them benefit from her work in their own way, and I’m grateful that they’ve had that experience too. It’s one thing for something to help you personally, but it’s another to see your children get something valuable from it as well.
Manijeh is very knowledgeable, but she’s also warm, thoughtful, and easy to connect with. She has a way of explaining things that makes them feel useful in real life rather than abstract or overly complicated. I’m very grateful for everything I’ve learned from her, and I’m especially grateful that my children have had the chance to learn from her too.

How MLO Works
Studying Life Optimization with Manijeh, I’ve become a better leader and manager by integrating qualities of empathy, loving kindness, self-compassion, and equanimity into the workplace. My insomnia, stress, anxieties, and self-doubts have greatly diminished. I feel far more patient, aware and comfortable with myself.
