Positive Psychology Across The Lifespan
An Existential Perspective
Positive Psychology Across the Lifespan An Existential Perspective Edited by Piers Worth, chartered psychologist, accredited psychotherapist and visiting Professor of Positive Psychology at Bucks New University.
Positive Psychology Across the Life Span provides an insight into how we are affected by the different stages of adult development and gives us the opportunity to change through choice rather than leaving change to chance.
The book will be essential reading for students and practitioners of positive psychology, as well as other mental health professionals and individuals interested in exploring the subject for reasons of personal development.
Andrew Machon – A Guiding Hand
“A Guiding Hand” is a set of cards and a book inspired by the Northern Lights, which Andrew observed and photographed over a 10-year period. The cards contain words and phrases that came from moments of contemplation while observing the Lights, and are intended to offer personal and professional guidance.
Andrew has drawn a card each week and created a blog post and podcast inspired by the words on the card. The cards and book offer practical guidance for positive psychology practitioners and anyone facing personal or professional challenges. Andrew hopes to provide a guiding hand to readers through these weekly conversations.
