Why Wellbeing?

You are more creative when happy, you are more productive, you are more likely to be socially inclusive; you also make more remote connections, learn more skills and accumulate more resources for the future when you are experiencing positive emotions.

What this means is that the large, pervasive social problems yet to be solved are much more likely to tackled by a community of people who are flourishing - feeling good and functioning well.

This is what we need in New Zealand, and nothing less than ‘flourishing’ will do.

Carsten Grimm, Lifehack Mentor

… what we’re really talking about is

people’s lives

… their happiness, their families, loved ones and communities. We’re talking about the potential for us all to contribute to

a better world

This work needs more than psychologists.

Wellbeing must be the domain of all of us.

Makers. Policy Analysts. Neuroscientists. Middle Managers. Early Childhood Educators. Entrepreneurs. Biologists. Architects. Town planners. Conservation Rangers. IT Developers. Physios. Product Manufacturers. Researchers.

In my mind, most of all Designers.

Wellbeing extends up to three degrees of separation

There is also socio-economic, biological and environmental factors at play

When we’re feeling good & functioning well we’re able to cope, even thrive,

in a complex, unpredictable world
