All in the Mind

Are you flourishing? And why a playful approach can help us cope


Listen Later

Do you feel like you’re flourishing?

If you’ve not heard that term before, it’s not just about wellbeing, it’s about your whole life being good.

Guest psychologist Dr Peter Olusoga joins Claudia in the studio to discuss the results of the Global Flourishing Study, a huge new study of more than 200,000 people in 22 countries.

What are the key takeaways on how we might help ourselves to flourish?

Pete also brings the science on a new psychological term – ‘lemonading’. It’s all about bringing a playful approach to life to help us cope in difficult times.

And we reveal more of our All in the Mind Awards finalists ahead of this month’s ceremony, including the story of a lifesaving breastfeeding group, and a nurse who was a rock for someone going through difficult psychiatric treatment.

Presenter: Claudia Hammond

Producers: Gerry Holt & Hannah Fisher
Studio Manager: Phil Lander
Editor: Glyn Tansley
