Personal information

Biography

My work integrates practical interventions with foundational research in behavioral science. I assist individuals and organizations in leveraging recent behavioral science insights to enhance health, well-being, and peak performance.

My research aims to understand and facilitate the development of flexible strength, also known as psychological flexibility. This involves employing psychological skills that foster personal growth, vitality, and action aligned with personal values. These skills encompass mindfulness, nonattachment, emotional awareness, value clarity, self-compassion, growth mindset, creativity, willpower, resilience, persistence, and grit..

I am a leader in idionomic research, focusing on the unique well-being drivers for each individual, moving beyond the "one-size-fits-all" approach. My colleagues and I are showing that it is usual to be unusual. Each person has a unique path to achieving their full potential.

I promote flexible strength using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy , Mindfulness, and Positive Psychology . My core values are to:

Promote physical, emotional, and social well-being
Promote peak performance
Create supportive communities
Promote effective, value driven behavior.
