Welcome!
I’m Dr Nick Baylis founder-director of the Cambridge University one-day training workshops in "Applying Positive Psychology and The Skills of Well-being". Designed for a general public and available to all, these practical workshops are convened by Professional Studies at The Institute of Continuing Education. founder-director of The Cambridge Study of Lifetimes exploring how some much-admired individuals have managed to flourish even in the face of adversity. founder-director of "Sharing the Lessons of a Lifetime" a charitable educational project reaching out from the University of Cambridge to foster profoundly healthy and good-hearted lives, rich in creative partnerships. fellow of The Royal Society of Arts for encouragement of the Arts, Manufacture, and Commerce. I'm a Well-being Scientist, Teacher and Therapist, attempting to understand the fundamental workings of lives well-lived. I'm looking for the principles, strategies, skills and experiences that can help us foster profoundly healthy, helpful, and good-hearted lives that are highly-adventurous and rich in creative partnerships. This has been my vocation for the past 12 years, before which I worked as a volunteer forensic psychologist in Feltham Young Offender Prison. It was here I realised that to better understand the journey of a lifetime, we need to compare what hinders with what helps. So it is that my study of well-being encompasses such subjects as our in-born need for beautiful relationships; building a passion for life and a rapport with our sub-conscious mind; positively channeling the energy of our painful and pleasurable emotions; how we achieve high-performance and expertise; and living in harmony with new technologies and our natural world.

We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.
