To see all my courses this year and next see this Google Calendar let me know if you find it useful. My favourite film of the year - so far - is Pixel's Inside Out. It's a film that is great fun for children of all ages, and also quite insightful regarding the nature of our minds and emotions. I was so taken by the film that I wrote a series of blog articles about it - hope you find them interesting - and go see the film if you haven't already.
Why you should watch Inside Out (even if you don't have kids!)
Sometimes kid's stories aren't just for kids - think the Wizard of Oz, Harry Potter,
Toy Story, Up - come to think of it some of the most entertaining, funny - and sad - films are
officially for kids!
Here are for me the 3 reasons why Inside Out is enlightening Read on More articles by Tim LeBon on the psychology of Inside Out
Meet Disgust
What I learnt from two weeks in CanadaI recently returned from a really great holiday in the Canadian Rockies, Vancouver and Vancouver Island. The positive psychologist in me isn't satisfied with just enjoying the holiday; he also wants to take stock and reflect on what I can learn from it.. So here, whilst the memories are still fresh, are good things about Vancouver and the Canadian Rockies
1) Connect with nature
Canada is the second largest country in the world (yes its bigger than the USA, Australia and China) yet there are only eleven countries less densely populated. So mankind hasnt spoilt things for other species - and long may that last. We saw black bears. elk, eagles, kingfishers in the Rockies - it was wonderful to see these beautful beasts thriving in their natural habitat. But best of all was seeing some grizzly bears in Bute Inlet.  | | A grizzly bear in Bute Inlet, Canada |
