048 - How can we avoid positive psychology's blindspots? Empathetic collaboration | A/Prof Mark Fabian


Listen Later

Dr Mark Fabian is an associate professor of public policy at the University of Warwick and an affiliate researcher at the Bennett Institute for Public Policy at Cambridge University.

He  is an area specialist (well-being) rather than a discipline specialist, which we discuss throughout the episode, and publishes in journals across multiple fields.

This was a fantastic, broad-reaching discussion, where we covered:

  • Mark's favourite footy team
  • Positive Psychology and its blind spots
  • The role of gratitude for wellbeing
  • The intersection of suffering and humility
  • Balance between individual agency and structural challenges
  • Empathetic collaboration for wellbeing policy
  • Mark's latest book on wellbeing
