BOOK ASAP! Professor Richard Wiseman - The Apollo Mindset

This event will sell out early! Get your tickets here http://bit.ly/2k0fjwP

A full day of talks exploring the science, psychology and philosophy of human potential.

What can the moon landings teach us about making our biggest dreams a reality?

What has the new science of positive psychology revealed about how human beings actualise their full potential?

Can an existential approach to life help you become more of who you are?

These are just some of the questions we’ll explore at The Weekend University this month. In this series of talks, we’ll discuss:

• Existential Approaches to Human Development; how the work of Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and Sartre can help you live with greater authenticity, and increase your sense of meaning and purpose in life

• Positive Psychology and Human Potential; how you can apply practical insights from peer reviewed studies to consciously grow as a human being and get more of what you want in life

• The Apollo Mindset; the psychological forces behind one of humanity’s greatest achievements, and how you can use them to achieve your most important goals.

You’ll learn how these unique insights can help you actualise more of your potential, but also how to help others do the same.
