Enjoyed the BBC's More than the Score podcast featuring @richsimpson95.bsky.social. good to have a psychological perspective on fandom in football! 💸 Might allegiances change with ownership? 📍What about clubs that relocate (Clyde, MK Dons)? 🧣 Do fans of smaller teams feel a greater responsibility?

Etched on Harvard's Dexter gates are "Enter to grow in wisdom" and "Depart to serve better thy country and thy kind". It elegantly reflects a wonderful day I had visiting Harvard 🙏 A huge thank you to the Human Flourishing Program for the opportunity to deliver a talk on sport for flourishing 🌸

An emotional day at MIT. I kept looking for traces and I found them. Hugh C. Simpson, Master of Science and Doctor of Science, and research assistant in the chemical engineering department at MIT 1949-1954. The work he did here set up his groundbreaking work, which led to an OBE in 1994.

We will have all heard the phrase "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all". What if I have something nice to say? Even to those who caused me ill-will? What difference could this make, to their life or my own, through practicing kindness and compassion? A quote to consider...

Impostor syndrome is a paradox: -Others believe in you -You don't believe in yourself -Yet you believe yourself instead of them If you doubt yourself, shouldn't you also doubt your judgment of yourself? When multiple people believe in you, it might be time to believe them.

Recollecting a fond memory of using my inner Marvel geek to express my well-being ideas during my PhD. Makes me proud looking back that I was brave enough to speak about my ideas in this quirky way... If only I had the chance to re-do this: The gauntlet would be so different!😆

A great day delivering a workshop on practicing self-compassion to students! Negativity biases, positive psychology, strength spotting, virtue awareness, compassionate thoughts on a postcard, and human flourishing (I promise I did not bore them with conceptual debates or philosophy... too much) 🤓 ✍️
