Moments of Permanence -

So as usual on the first staff day back, the school gets some guest speaker in and does a presentation on something - today it was on Happiness, by Doctor 'Happy' who is the CHO (Chief Happiness Officer) of the Happiness Institute. You get the idea.

Anyway, he was talking about how most psychology stops at the point where they have helped someone get from depression/eating disorder/mental illness etc (say, minus 9 or 10 on a scale) to 'normal' (0 on the scale). But there is not a lot of teaching/studies etc. on studying wellness and how to get there (ie. getting to positive 9 or 10 on the scale).

He made lots of interesting points - I'd be interested in sharing them with you at some stage and getting your views.

Anyway. Just thought I'd share :)

That does sound really interesting, and it is a good point. Probably a bit too much for me to take on until I get to the 0-point, though...

But thank you for sharing. ♥
