When you get to peer into someone else's life...a friend, work colleague, family member, whoever they are... they disclose or share a challenging experience with you: do you see them or do you see you?

Etched on Harvard's Dexter gates are "Enter to grow in wisdom" and "Depart to serve better thy country and thy kind". It elegantly reflects a wonderful day I had visiting Harvard 🙏

A huge thank you to the Human Flourishing Program for the opportunity to deliver a talk on sport for flourishing 🌸

An emotional day at MIT. I kept looking for traces and I found them. Hugh C. Simpson, Master of Science and Doctor of Science, and research assistant in the chemical engineering department at MIT 1949-1954. The work he did here set up his groundbreaking work, which led to an OBE in 1994.

The Preparation for AY 2025/26 begins!

As a part of our PSY6033 Sport Psychology in Context module, I am looking for interested parties (practitioners, researchers, trainees, PhD students) who would be keen to contribute to this 'spotlight' initiative. 👇

I have just written a paragraph or two on well-being that is made sense of somewhat through Looney Tunes... How has your day been?

Enthusiasm is never wasted. We are very bad at recognising that but it's true.

We will have all heard the phrase "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all".

What if I have something nice to say? Even to those who caused me ill-will? What difference could this make, to their life or my own, through practicing kindness and compassion?

A quote to consider...

The mechanics of the world do appear to operate in mysterious ways.

Looking forward to visiting Boston this summer, seeing family, finding footprints left by my grandfather, and connecting with/delivering a talk to colleagues from the Human Flourishing Programme at Harvard University!

Crazy that this is the last week of teaching for the academic year. By the end of this week, I won't be in a classroom teaching until next September 😮
