Background

The world is changing and positive psychology has a part to play.  Drawing on themes from the Global Government Summit in Dubai and the book "Creating the world we want to live in" that are essential for human flourishing, such as healthcare, artificial intelligence, education, climate change and social justice.

Aims

This presentation will ask the audience to challenge their thinking of positive psychology and the conference theme of ‘creating a world we want to live in’.

Method

How can we view the world’s opportunities and challenges through a human lens, connecting people, ideas, and science to make a significant change towards a more positive future? What research do we have now, that once consolidated, can lead us to the possibility of something more?

We have so many pieces of the puzzle, that now we need to connect them to make a larger, more positive difference. In this impactful and thought-provoking presentation, Sue Langley will be throwing down the gauntlet for us to join forces, for a more integrated approach to a flourishing world.

Results

Changing the world, using research and practical tools that make a difference.  Citing numerous examples from real life, including a positive story that that world can be changed for the better.

Conclusion

This presentation will provoke big thinking around how we use what we know about the science of human flourishing to come together and do more to change the world for the better.
