Ms Boyes' reflections on the week ending 10 January 2025

Rooted in Aristotle’s timeless philosophy, eudaimonia—or flourishing—remains as relevant today as ever. Ms Boyes spoke in assembly at the Senior School about the concept explored by Corey Keyes, a leading sociologist and psychologist, in his book Languishing: How to Feel Alive Again in a World That Wears Us Down. Keyes emphasizes the importance of belonging and being challenged as keys to thriving, alongside identifying 14 signs of flourishing. Ms Boyes encouraged students and staff alike to embrace this fresh perspective for the new year, with five actionable "vitamins" to help our community thrive and flourish.
