Welcome!

A lecturer at Cambridge University for the past seven years, I presently teach one-day workshops, available to all, in Applying Positive Psychology & The Skills of Well-being.
Before embarking upon The Rough Guide to Happiness (for Penguin Books), I was a weekly columnist for The Times newspaper, writing over 100 columns as 'Dr FeelGood on The Science of Happiness'. My current handbook for a general readership is Learning from Wonderful Lives (available through Amazon).
Essentially, 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 14 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.

Towards the end of his poem, Little Gidding, T.S.Eliot wrote:
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.
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.
