13:01KaroliinaHow about Maslows work, that Scott Kaufman has summoned in his book Transcend? Maslow and Kaufman have interesting thought concerning these questions. For example, Maslow saw flourishing as the ability to feel real emotions, and happiness is something that somewhat happens along the way, but is not the main aim. To change society for the better, it is crucial to experience all emotiona to guide your way - this is LinkedIn to eastern wisdom traditions.

13:38Jo LauThank you very much! It has been wonderful to listen to the speakers! Nice stuff to ponder over for the summer!

How to educate young people towards a life of overall flourishing? Must the ‘good life’ of a student involve engagement with self-transcendent ideals and ignite awe-filled enchantment? How is this connected to psychological and philosophical concepts of wisdom, planetary well-being, and human wellbeing?
Keynote speaker is a visiting professor Kristján Kristjánsson from the University of Birmingham. He is the professor of Character Education and Virtue Ethics Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues.
