We can build a state of wellbeing with positive psychology | Gabrielle Kelly | TEDxAdelaide

‘Know thyself’ is the goal of the wise. But knowing ourselves can be tough. In the age of the plastic brain, our private mental architecture can be more ready to respond to the knowledge of positive psychology. Through this knowledge we can exercise new psychological skills for our own benefit. This is why the science of 'mental wellness' applied at regional or city scale can scaffold the evolution of human understanding and capacity. Gabrielle Kelly is a deep-diving generalist: thinker, leader and change agent. As filmmaker, global digital media executive and strategist, she has relentlessly driven social change in the service of democracy, innovation and the positive evolution of society. Gabrielle is the Director of the Wellbeing and Resilience Centre at SAHMRI, the South Australian Health & Medical Research Institute. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
