Zombified employees, and how we can use our noses to remember
big bad mental health wolf
Is organisational drive to achieve leading to a wave of zombies?

Zombies are real, and rising within the workforce... In a radio interview for Engage for Success, Maria chatted to host Jo Dodds about the brain science of zombification, how this affects people at work, how senior management need to address this and about the new science of co-regulation and how this impacts upon performance.

Zombification is a useful analogy to describe the desensitised state brought on by extreme anxiety or stress. The cause is what’s known in neuroscience as a ‘vagal break’ – where the vagal nerve in the brain becomes disorientated. Find out what can be done to prevent and neutralise the effects of zombification: Read more

We all have the potential to become zombies - and we all have the potential to prevent zombification, and neutralise it. It's up to us!

Feeling good about work | Dan Ariely
 
"What motivates us to work? Contrary to conventional wisdom, it isn't just money. But it's not exactly joy either. It seems that most of us thrive by making constant progress and feeling a sense of purpose. Behavioral economist Dan Ariely presents two eye-opening experiments that reveal our unexpected and nuanced attitudes toward meaning in our work."
 
Bookclub | What we're reading this month...
 
 


by Martin Seligman

"In this groundbreaking, heart-lifting and deeply useful book, Martin Seligman, internationally esteemed psychologist and the father of Positive Psychology, shows us that happiness can be learned and cultivated.

Using many years of in-depth psychological research he lays out the 24 strengths and virtues unique to the human psyche and teaches you how to identify the ones you possess. By calling upon your signature strengths, you will not only develop natural buffers against misfortune and negative emotion, but also improve the world around you - at work, in love and in raising children - achieving new and sustainable contentment, joy and meaning."
