This week Matt chats with Annalise Roache, Co-President of the NZ Association of Positive Psychology and a PhD Candidate at AUT Auckland. We walk through Annalise’s PhD work, focused on Lay Perspectives of wellbeing - put simply - Annalise asked over 1000 New Zealanders what wellbeing means to them. 

After an intense process of thematic analysis, Annalise constructed a model of two interwoven aspects of wellbeing, The Elements and The Golden threads, each working together yet unique and influential in their own right. 

• The elements are the core components of wellbeing, together forming a holistic picture of wellbeing.

• The golden threads are the unifying principles that bring the elements to life and which thwart and support wellbeing.
