Geeking out can be hugely beneficial to your connection and your well being. But throwing ourselves fully into a geeky prsuit is still a thing that many of us are kind of embarrassed about. Cumberbidge, tabitha carven will share how she was able to throw herself into her obsession whole heartedly. The benefits that came from that were far more powerful than she expected.
Really love a TV show; a boyband; a sci fi movie; or a celebrity? We're often too embarrassed to admit adoring some things for fear that we'll be seen as frivolous or childish - but we may be missing out on the happiness benefits that geeking out can bring.
Dr Laurie Santos explores the joy of fandom with Benedict Cumberbatch obsessive Tabitha Carvan, YA author Jennifer Lynn Barnes and Star Trek actor (and geek-vangelist) Wil Wheaton.
