The 3 Good Podcast: Episode 19 Positive Psychology in Life

This is a brilliant episode. Sukh talks to Jo Wainwright about how she believes in positive psychology as a way of everyday being and how it shows up for her in her day to day work. It's a really great exploration of the topic of positive psychology with two practitioners who have studied the subject, understand how to apply psychology in day to day living, and share personal stories of how they've developed their practise along the way. Also, Sukh and Jo are friends, and the episode highlights what it can feel like when friends have a mutually enjoyable conversation about a topic close to both their hearts.

They talk about many practical ways you can change how you have daily conversations, including using the word 'and' in place of but' and noticing how this generates a different direction for your conversation.

In the podcast, Jo mentions the following different works:

Maslow and his hierarchy of needs - explained fully here https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html

Stephen Covey's 7th principle "Sharpen the saw" - reproduced on this website https://joe-kelly.com/sharpen-saw-build-inner-reserves/
