The psychology of positive energy and influencing the world with warmth and kindness.

Dr Harry Cohen is a psychologist and author of "Be the Sun, Not the Salt". A book about the Heliotropic effect applied to human behaviour, and how we can attract and uplift others through our energy and kindness.

We cover:

  • What is the Heliotropic effect
  • The fallacy of good ideas without action
  • Taking responsibility for your impact
  • Embracing healthy negativity and avoiding toxic positivity
  • Chasing realistic dreams and avoiding the rat race
  • Mastering feedback and good apologies

  • If you want to learn how to be a better leader, have more friends or be a more caring partner, this will give you some ideas.
