Being kind is kind of underrated.
At least, people don’t realise the full benefits of kindness, and how it can make you happier, make others happier, improve your mental & physical health, strengthen relationships and even – if you can believe it – help build a more successful workplace. Well, Claudia Hammond does. And she’s going to lay out the simple principles behind it all at our next Nudge Talk, titled The Keys To Kindness, taking place on October 17th from 7pm-9pm at the Orangery in TT.
Many people will recognise her as being the multi-award-winning ‘voice of psychology’ on Radio 4 where she presents All In The Mind. For her latest book, The Keys To Kindness, she’s taken a deep dive into the behaviour, drawing on the fields of psychology & neuroscience, and her work in collaboration with the University of Sussex and the BBC. She’s even drawing from the largest global survey of attitudes to kindness ever undertaken, involving 60,000 participants. So to put it bluntly, she’s not just making this up as she goes along.
The talk & discussion is all going to take place in TT’s rather beautiful Orangery which, perhaps ironically, is very green thanks to the dozens of plants strewn about it. You’ll find it directly above the main cocktail bar, though it conveniently has its own bar too. Everyone will get a welcome cocktail to whet the whistle, and then Claudia will take the floor and start things off by talking about how kindness isn’t just about holding doors or pretending to like your coworker’s dog photos.
As usual with our Nudge Talks there’ll be some back and forth with the audience, and there’ll be plenty more cocktails available from what happens to be an absolutely stellar bar.
It might just make you a person of a different kind.
NOTE: Claudia Hammond’s talk on The Keys To Kindness has unfortunately been cancelled.
