What do alligators, octopi and flamingos have to do with wellbeing?
This week, Andy Cope takes us on a wild ride from World Book Day to the power of culture and collective nouns (yes, really).
While dressed as a children’s author and not a PhD-level happiness expert, Andy finds himself in a school where something magical happens. Enter a superhero named Eli - a quiet lad who’s not keen on speaking in school. That is, until someone mentions collective nouns (his specialist subject). What follows is nothing short of extraordinary… and maybe a little emotional.
From a “congregation of alligators” to a “flamboyance of flamingos,” The big question is, what kind of collective are you part of? A low-level grumble... or a radiance of joy?
So, stick your headphones on for one of the most heartwarming episodes yet - and find out how being your own best mate, might just start with changing how you show up on a Monday morning.
