Recent Events

Recently Prof Martin Seligman presented for SPA in Perth. There were 1400 participants at the presentation. Prof Martin Seligman has recently authored a new book "Flourish” based on current research.

Our vision is that this event will trigger further insights and opportunities for Western Australia to build a city and state where individuals, organisations and communities can flourish.

“No psychologist in history has done more than Martin Seligman to discover the keys to flourishing and then give them away to the world. Flourish is full of specific techniques you can use to change yourself, your relationships, and your organization. More importantly, Seligman teaches you how to look at life and see possibilities, rather than constraints. If you lead people, work with people, or know any people, you should read this book.” --Jonathan Haidt, author of The Happiness Hypothesis.
