EVERYDAY WELLBEING

A course about all of us

​

​

​

 

This short course, over 4 one and a half hour modules explores what contributes to and what interferes with our sense of well-being, from an evidence-based research point of view. 

​

 

THERE IS NO "SILVER BULLET", NO "SECRET"

​

The worldwide "Wellness" and "Self-Help" industry is a multi-billion dollar one and is almost completely unregulated.  Some measures even show it as being larger than "Big-pharma", so it's hardly the poor, unfairly maligned enterprise it often likes to portray.  While there are many genuine and useful offerings, a large proportion of the "theories" and "cures" offered have little or no evidence to support their efficacy.  The idea that all you have to do is one simple thing, pay the money and you'll be happy/cured/stronger/more successful can be very seductive.  And the "gurus" who promote these theories, tend to tap into the notion that we need to be "fixed", and if we do what they're selling, we will be fixed.  Simple huh?  In reality, we humans are just not that simple. 

​

There is however, a huge body of research from the areas of psychology, neuroscience and even behavioural economics from which we can learn very useful insights into how we work, what we can realistically expect and what we can do to improve our general well-being.

​

​

THIS COURSE IS EVIDENCE-BASED.

​

Several threads of current research into well-being are investigated and techniques that have been shown to be successful in peer-reviewed scientific research are presented.  The approach is not one of “fixing” something wrong, but one of accepting how we are and working from there using a broad approach.
