Pre-conference workshop - Wednesday 20 June: Positivity and young minds

with Dr Barbara Fredrickson, USA; world-leading researcher into positive emotions and professor of psychology; University of North Carolina; Author: Positivity

Dr. Barbara Fredrickson, author of Positivity, gives you the lab-tested insights and tools necessary for you and young minds to create healthier, more vibrant, and flourishing lives through a process she calls “the upward spiral.” 

You’ll discover:

• What positivity is, and why it needs to be heartfelt to be effective
• What love is, and why it’s more important than happiness
• How positivity resonates between and among people
• How love and positivity can enhance relationships, work, and health, as well as relieve depression, broaden minds, and build lives
• The research that backs the 3-to-1 “positivity ratio” as a key tipping point
• How to calculate your current positivity ratio, track it, and improve it

This is your chance to learn the science of positive emotions from one of the world’s leading experts. By increasing your daily diet of positivity - especially with those moments in which positivity resonates between you and others - you’ll come to see new possibilities to connect with others and to build flourishing communities.
