A Positively Inspiring Presentation

For once I remembered to check the programme for the Cambridge Science Festival in time to select at least one event to attend.  In the past I’ve heard some fascinating talks and taken my children to take part in some excellent hands-on demonstrations at the annual festival. I’m always annoyed with myself in the years when I miss out because I’ve not checked the programme early enough.

This year was an exception. Chris and I went to listen to a lecture by Nick Baylis on Tuesday night. Not only is Nick’s approach to positive psychology refreshingly pragmatic and useful – his style of presenting is relaxed and easy. I left wanting more information so have bought his latest book, Learning from Wonderful Lives, and so far have had to resist the temptation to start dipping into it before I finish the ones I already have on the go.

That’s pretty tough so I’m off to catch up on my reading now…
