Hele firmaet (alle 4) deltog i ippa konferencen om positiv psykologi i Philadelphia, og vi havde det fantastisk.
Det er verdens førende arrangement indenfor feltet med over 1500 deltagere, som kunne opleve alle pingerne, bl.a. Seligman, Zimbardo, Cooperrider, Csikszentmihalyi and Diener. Begge Diener’e faktisk :o)
Her er de bedste citater fra konferencen, hentet fra min twitter stream:
“Awe is what moves us forward.”
– David Cooperrider citerer Joseph Conrad.
“Business must be a force for good in the world.”
– David Cooperrider.
“Homeless people in India and USA missed the Maslow memo.” (De kan nemlig være glade, selvom de mangler alt på det materielle plan.)
– Robert Biswas-Diener
“Being healthy makes you happy and vice versa, but the link from happiness to health is twice as strong.”
– Ruut veenhoven
“Puritanism is the dreaded suspicion that someone somewhere is happy.”
– Sir Richard Layard citerer H.L. Mencken
“To flourish in life, aim for at least 3 positive emotions for every negative one.”
– Barbara Frederickson
“The top 2 motives for murder are… 1) love, 2) work.”
– Michael Frese
“Being too happy is bad for you. 8 on 1 10-scale is just right. Eg. cancer patients are more likely to survive if they’re at an 8 instead of 9 or 10.”
– Ed Diener
“It’s a myth that lottery winners are no happier after they win the money or that quadriplegics are no unhappier after their accident – your circumstances do matter!”
– Ed Diener
“You look a little down – go do something nice for someone else.”
– Martin Seligman
