Positively Psyched: A Conversation With Dr. Orin Davis
An expert in self-actualization explains why advice is often too generalized, what people get wrong about DEI, and why many of you shouldn't go to college. In this episode, Anthony and Clay speak with Dr. Orin Davis, the first person to earn a PhD in Positive Psychology. Dr. Davis is, just to name a few things, a self-actualization engineer, HR and DEI consultant, life coach, and a professor of creativity and innovation, entrepreneurship, business, and psychology. He is also the principal investigator at the Quality of Life Laboratory (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__qllab.org_&d=DwMFaQ&c=009klHSCxuh5AI1vNQzSO0KGjl4nbi2Q0M1QLJX9BeE&r=3zDGFmVttE3bJ47Ts0VcDteX32g3csIAaRlXwW1dUjY&m=4y2aAw6y6prGSBFL0PdclJfQQwT65D-iltsZaaJVGi2q9L5rImrRMVQwe_yVFNkZ&s=ua5vSYOSGk1X0IQI7d1wWdH_q9x4CtS6_Cv50AA73Z4&e=), which, according to the website, engineers self-actualization for people and makes workplaces great places to work. Last but not least, Dr. Davis is the co-author, along with Dr. Jef van den Hout, of Team Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Collaboration (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.amazon.com_Team-2DFlow-2Dpsychology-2Dcollaboration-2DSpringerBriefs_dp_3030278700&d=DwMFaQ&c=009klHSCxuh5AI1vNQzSO0KGjl4nbi2Q0M1QLJX9BeE&r=3zDGFmVttE3bJ47Ts0VcDteX32g3csIAaRlXwW1dUjY&m=4y2aAw6y6prGSBFL0PdclJfQQwT65D-iltsZaaJVGi2q9L5rImrRMVQwe_yVFNkZ&s=xprjEnFtsfKcyb7ndvBZpww0sUyHzluGQMyLDHp8CaE&e=).
