The psychology of positive energy and influencing the world with warmth and kindness.

Dr Harry Cohen is a psychologist and author of "Be the Sun, Not the Salt". A book about the Heliotropic effect applied to human behaviour, and how we can attract and uplift others through our energy and kindness.

We cover:

• What is the Heliotropic effect
• The fallacy of good ideas without action
• Taking responsibility for your impact
• Embracing healthy negativity and avoiding toxic positivity
• Chasing realistic dreams and avoiding the rat race
• Mastering feedback and good apologies

If you want to learn how to be a better leader, have more friends or be a more caring partner, this will give you some ideas.
