Midlife lows in human wellbeing

What’s it about?

An engaging presentation of the science around why humans (on average) experience midlife lows in their wellbeing, and how these lows might be mitigated.  Research from several disciplines and areas will be accessibly discussed.  This will be a stimulating, thought provoking event.  Audience viewpoints and reaction to the social science findings encouraged.
