Psychology

Professor Dr. Eugene Tee is delighted to announce that his latest book, The Science of Flourishing, will be released soon!

The Department of Psychology invites you to an exclusive preview of the book this Tuesday, April 14th, from 10 am-11:30 am, where he will be chatting with Ms Carol Wong, Head of Sunway University Press about the science of positive psychology, what it means to flourish, and practical suggestions on how to create a life of joy, meaning, and richness.

Excerpt from the book:

The Science of Flourishing is a lyrical, intellectual journey that addresses a timeless and universal question: How can we live better and experience life more fully? Blending discoveries from the science of positive psychology with poetic storytelling, it draws wisdom from philosophy, lessons from history, and inspirations from nature. It is a whole-of-life inquiry—a prism through which to explore our shared longings for meaning, vitality, and joy.

The Science of Flourishing is, above all, a symphony of science in 12 movements offering a gentle, profound promise: Life, in all its beauty and complexity, can be lived and celebrated more fully.

Limited first-run copies of the book are available on the day.

We look forward to seeing you at the book talk!

Prof. Dr. Eugene will be facilitating the 8-week Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice (MBSP) starting January 30th 2026, at the HELP University Subang 2 campus.

The new year brings with it an invitation for renewal, growth, and continued learning 🌈. Our cohort this year welcomes you to experience the clarity that comes from connecting our minds with our virtues. This program, held weekly every Friday, 12-2 pm, invites you to:

🌱Learn to see yourself through the lens of character strengths.

🪷Cultivate the practice of being mindfully attuned to your best qualities.

💞Engage with a community of learners to practice strengths-spotting, while also allowing others to hold up a mirror to the best parts of your personality.

🌻 Acquire skills that help you use your strengths to enhance resilience and coping, relationship quality, and goal-setting.

Former MBSP participants are welcome to attend (no sign-up needed). Welcome back, as we return once more to the present 🌅

⭐ Join us as we learn about the science of mindfulness and character strengths, in creating pathways to flourishing and well-being in 2026 ⭐
