Feeling overwhelmed by the pace of life?

In a fast-paced and chaotic world, many of us are left feeling stressed, reactive and stuck in unhelpful patterns. But what if meaningful change didn’t require a complete life overhaul - just small, intentional shifts in the moment?

At this special event, psychologist and mindfulness teacher Dr Elisha Goldstein will share insights from his new book Tiny Shifts: How Emotional Health Transforms Stress, Relationships, and Longevity. Drawing on neuroscience and decades of clinical experience, Elisha will reveal how our emotional health quietly shapes everything – from how we handle stress to the quality of our relationships and even our long-term wellbeing.

You’ll learn how to break free from the overwhelm loop, interrupt reactive patterns, and build greater emotional resilience using simple, practical tools you can apply in everyday life. Through small, repeatable practices – what Elisha calls 'Tiny Shifts' – it’s possible to move from stress and reactivity to calm, clarity and connection, one moment at a time. Whether you’re feeling stretched thin or simply want a more grounded and balanced way to navigate life, this session will offer a powerful refreshing perspective on what it really means to live well.

This conversation was recorded at an Action for Happiness live event on 13th May 2026.
