Happy new year all! I hope 2023 brings you health, hope, and happiness. On that theme, I'm pleased to share that my new book on happiness with @mitpress is now out. Thank you to everyone who helped bring this book into being. I hope people like it! mitpress.mit.edu/97802625442…
I'm pleased to share a new paper in @APA's American Psychologist! It argues that rather than viewing people from different cultures as essentially similar (“universalism”) or fundamentally distinct (“pluralism”), both perspectives are essentially right ... researchgate.net/publication…
Out now: our new 'flexible map of flourishing,' which aims to offer a comprehensive framework and language for situating the elements and dynamics of flourishing, wellbeing, health and happiness (with possibilities for personalisation, as in this figure):

Out now: my new paper trying to ascertain the viability of an extraterrestrial hypothesis for #UAP; might not be the most likely explanation, but still seems like a real possibility - #UFO #ufotwitter #uap #ufology #UAPTwitter

Intriguing new research, expertly led by @AgNilsson (with @OscarKjell, @JEichstaedt & @HAndySchwartz), suggests Cantril's ladder (which, in @Gallup World Poll, is the basis of the World Happiness Report) tends to elicit thoughts about power & wealth nature.com/articles/s41598-0…
Do #UAP/#UFOs only appear or crash in the USA? Far from it. My new paper looks at data which suggests that, whatever these phenomena are - which is, of course, the key question - they seem to be a global issue - #ufotwitter #ufodisclosure #uapX #ufoX . . . onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Drawing on publicly available databases, for example, this table summarizes #UAP/#UFO reports by region. Plenty of caveats (e.g., issues with the data), but still, it's an interesting picture of a global phenomenon! Full text proof version available here: researchgate.net/publication…
It was very nice to be invited onto this podcast to talk about the nature of flourishing and what we can try to do to help more people reach this. Please do have a listen if that sounds of interest!
New Episode out now! In this fascinating discussion, Dr. Timothy Lomas delves into the multifaceted world of holistic flourishing.

New article in the journal of #positivepsychology on calmness in the @Gallup World Poll. Most people (72%) preferred a calm life to an exciting life, and most also experinece it (71.9%), but there's plenty of notable and surprising regional dynamics . . . tandfonline.com/eprint/6YDWB…
New article in the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology: my attempt to consider the strange and speculative possibility of an "ultraterrestrial" hypothesis for UAP, and specifically an "interdimensional" explanation: #ufos #ufoX #aliens #uap - draft here... researchgate.net/publication…
Out now - my new paper on assocations between income and 31 different aspects of wellbeing in the @Gallup Gallup World Poll covering 142 countries. Richer people do fare better overall, but it's a complex picture with many nuances ...

I know that allegations of UAP “crash retrieval” and “reverse engineering” can sound wild, but if you’re sceptical and/or new to the topic, do check out this brilliant and illuminating thread by @ClintEhrlich with an open mind
For anyone skeptical about reports that the US may actually have retrieved UAP craft in its possession - understandably so!, given that if true it's one of the most momentous stories ever - this article about the whistleblowing process is worth reading...

Wow! Absolutely incredible hearing on UAP/UFOs by the House Oversight panel. Astonishing testimony around UAP encounters, and even retrieved craft and "biologics" (non-human "pilots"). If you missed it, it's available at @cspan (together with transcript): c-span.org/video/?529499-1/h…
Even before considering Grusch's incredible allegations, Fravor and Graves (@uncertainvector) made many striking points. First, Graves emphasised that military UAP sightings "are not rare or isolated. They are routine. Military air crew ... are frequently witnessing these"
