New Series: The Science of Flourishing

A new series on the Waking Up app explores how to live well from a humanistic psychology perspective.

Artist: Ceci Erlich

I’m excited to announce a new series I created on the Waking Up app.

You can be happy without realizing your full potential. You can be successful without being fulfilled. You can be productive without feeling connected. So what does it actually mean to live well?

In The Science of Flourishing, I explore that question through the lens of humanistic psychology, a tradition that looks at the whole person: our needs, emotions, relationships, and opportunities.

Seen this way, the good life is not the absence of suffering, but the ongoing process of developing our strengths, connecting with others, and becoming more fully ourselves.

You can try the Waking Up app for 30 days for free by going to my Waking Up page: https://www.wakingup.com/scottbarrykaufman.

May you all live well,

Scott
