Join me behind the scenes at the IPPA 6th World Congress on Positive Psychology in Melbourne, Australia
If you follow Potential Psychology on social media you might have seen me out and about with my portable recorder, Potential shirt and matching red headphones at the International Positive Psychology Association’s 6th World Congress on Positive Psychology in July 2019.
The World Congress was a four day event at which world’s positive psychology, happiness and wellbeing experts descended on Melbourne, put their collective heads together and explored and shared the most mind-blowing quantity (and quality!) of research and knowledge on what helps us all to thrive and flourish.
There were great thinkers and speakers, research presentations, exhibitors, well being adventures, conversations, global perspectives and over 1000 people in attendance and and I’ve captured as much as I can to share with you in this episode of the podcast.
Join me as we:
Race around Melbourne, well being adventure-style with Associate Professor Aaron Jarden, Dr Jo Mitchell, Dr Suzy Green and othersTake to the streets in a #Happtivist MarchUnplug and Hug with Nicola LipscombeLearn about how technology is boosting our young people’s well being with Professor Dianne Vella BrodrickListen in to psychology luminaries including Jonathan Haidt, Roy Baumeister, Michael Steger and Barbara FredricksonAre inspired by outgoing IPPA President and past podcast guest Professor Lea Waters to go forth and heal the world.
You’ll also hear me get lost in the streets of Melbourne and try to keep my balance while interviewing on a moving tram. This is onsite recording folks!
A huge thanks to everyone who agreed to be interviewed for this episode, the team at ASN Events for helping me to coordinate a media pass to the event and the IPPA Conference Leaders for allowing me to wander around and pester people with my microphone and hence bring you this behind-the-scenes episode.
