'The Science of Well-being'

For Oxford University Press (2006), I co-edited a collection of 20 highly detailed academic chapters by world-leading authorities, based upon our three-day Royal Society conference in London.

Phil Hanlon, Professor of Public Health at Glasgow University, kindly wrote of the book:
'It is probably the best single source of authoritative information on this important and rapidly developing field.'

Kind Words about Wonderful Lives

I've been very touched by the kind words about Wonderful Lives that came from two souls I greatly respect:

Claire Rayner, OBE, is Britain's best-loved voice on matters of health and well-being. Throughout her astonishing career of more than 60 years, Claire has cared for, informed, encouraged and campaigned. Married for 47 years, she is a mother of three.
"Nick's book provides an enormous amount of commonsense, wisdom, and practical advice, that's as readable as a novel but infinitely more satisfying in the long term. I really do commend it to anyone who seeks for 'a wonderful life'."

Emeritus Professor Philip Zimbardo, the elected President of the American Psychological Association's 150,000 members in 2002. Professor Zimbardo has taught, researched and practiced psychology mostly at Stanford University, for almost 50 years.
"Rarely have I experienced a better blend of wit, wisdom and compassion presented in an engagingly refreshing writing style, as in Nick's fine book. Wonderful Lives is gamely authentic in its positive messages about how to make our lives work well for us. I am sure you will enjoy it and benefit fully from its 'spot-on' relevance to contemporary life."
