Methods and systems for improving an individual through a program of improvement courses are disclosed. The method of the present invention includes completing an initial assessment on a computer system prior to the individual starting the program of improvement courses and storing the completed initial assessment in a memory on the computer system and then taking the program of improvement courses. These courses are varied and combine traditional and non-traditional courses as well as eastern and western philosophies. Then one or more current assessments are computed on the computer system while taking the program of improvement courses and then stored in the memory. Once the courses are completed, one or more follow-up assessments are completed on the computer, and the results are stored in the memory. Composite scores are determined from the assessments and displayed to determine progress.
