If you are interested in the approach, willing to join in discussions and ready to enter into the spirit of the investigation, that is all that's needed. If you have previously studied philosophy you may find this a unique and intriguing approach. Many students find a greater sense of purpose, peace of mind, contentment and understanding of themselves and the world around them, as well as the growth of new abilities and talents which can be used to serve others. Most people find substantial benefit in taking one or a few courses.
