SUMMARY:Character & Happiness - with Angela Duckworth
DESCRIPTION:About this event\nWhat is character? And how does it support wellbeing?\nAt this event\, psychologist Angela Duckworth will share what she’s learnt in her years of research into character. She’ll explain how we don’t need to rely on talent to be successful or to achieve goals; instead we can develop our strengths to respond wisely to whatever life sends our way. \nAngela defines character as “everything we do to help other people as well as ourselves”. She believes we can cultivate character strengths in three dimensions: strengths of heart (e.g. gratitude)\, strengths of will (e.g. grit)\, and strengths of mind (e.g. curiosity). \nAngela began researching character after working as a teacher and noticing some students performed better than others\, thanks to character traits that seemed unconnected to their IQ or life situations. Together with a team of educators\, Angela founded the Character Lab: a non-profit that translates research into helpful tips to boost young people’s social\, emotional\, academic and physical well-being. \nThe event will take place on Zoom at 7pm London time (BST). \nTo see the start time in your time zone\, please click here. \nAbout The Speaker \nAngela Duckworth is professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and the bestselling author of Grit: Why passion and resilience are the secrets to success. She is founder and CEO of Character Lab\, a non-profit whose mission is to advance scientific insights that help young people thrive.
