E30. Next steps for a stronger positive psychology | A/Prof Aaron Jarden

Welcome to Episode 30 of Researching Happy.

This week we chat with Associate Professor Aaron Jarden of the University of Melbourne Centre for Wellbeing Science. Aaron is a great friend of the show and we have a fantastic wide-ranging conversation.

We talk about the International Journal of Wellbeing, an exciting, multi-disciplinary open-access journal that Aaron co-developed, the ethics of positive psychology practice, the role of philosophy in guiding strong academic work, and Aaron's interesting work on lay perspectives of wellbeing.
