E9. What do YOU mean by Flourishing? | Dr Eri Mountbatten-O’Malley

Support the show and join the Researching Happy community: https://researchinghappy.locals.com This week I chat with Dr Eri Mountbatten-O’Malley, Senior Lecturer in Education (Policy) at Bath Spa University. We discuss a topic that has been largely overlooked, the poor use of language in positive psychology. Namely, Eri has focused is PhD research on the topic of Flourishing, a term that has the risk of becoming an overused buzzword that could ultimately meet the same fate as terms such as grit and resilience. We also discuss an exciting community-based series of Events that Eri has developed, FlourishCafe, aimed at the co-creation of communities, organisations, and institutions where everyone has the opportunity to flourish.
