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

This work needs more than psychologists.
Wellbeing must be the

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.
