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.

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!

Recollecting a fond memory of using my inner Marvel geek to express my well-being ideas during my PhD. Makes me proud looking back that I was brave enough to speak about my ideas in this quirky way...
If only I had the chance to re-do this: The gauntlet would be so different!😆

A great day delivering a workshop on practicing self-compassion to students! Negativity biases, positive psychology, strength spotting, virtue awareness, compassionate thoughts on a postcard, and human flourishing (I promise I did not bore them with conceptual debates or philosophy... too much) 🤓 ✍️

I have been trying to think of a neat way to summarise #DSEP2024 but @albandickson.bsky.social beat me to it! 👏
Very hard to find the words to describe how meaningful the conference was. Instead, I will let these pictures speak in ways that I cannot 👌
#DSEP2025 conference announcement... 7pm 👀

Loved the opportunity to discuss spatial metaphors of PWB with DSEP delegates and hope people found it useful! Could talk about PWB for days! 🗣👌

Incredibly heart-warming to see Dr Andrew Manley receive this recognition. I wouldn't be the person I am, nor in the position I find myself today, without his service, sincerity, and support🙏
I have no doubt there are many as indebted to Andrew as I am💜
