00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:14.600
We all want to live happy and fulfilling lives,

00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:16.600
and we have a duty care towards humanity

00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:18.120
and to our environment,

00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:20.000
both on a local and a global scale.

00:00:20.260 --> 00:00:22.780
However, this course isn't just a lesson

00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:24.300
about global warming,

00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:25.820
or just about recycling,

00:00:25.820 --> 00:00:27.820
nor is it meant to be a guilt trip.

00:00:27.820 --> 00:00:29.520
This course was made

00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:31.640
to help you think about what motivates you.

00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.820
In what ways do you enjoy working?

00:00:33.820 --> 00:00:35.340
What makes you happy?

00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:37.100
What gives you a sense of purpose?

00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:39.960
And in what ways can you make a contribution?

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:42.560
This course will also explore the many ways

00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.320
in which people can change the world around them,

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.520
both in small and in large ways.

00:00:46.940 --> 00:00:49.400
We will hear stories from people who are doing exactly this,

00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:51.080
from promoting positive mental health

00:00:51.080 --> 00:00:52.520
and happy communities

00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:54.260
to tackling local homelessness

00:00:54.260 --> 00:00:57.300
and working with large corporations to reduce microplastics,

00:00:57.300 --> 00:01:00.060
and in doing so inspire you to learn more

00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:01.820
or even become involved yourself.

00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.500
But even if this isn't what you're into,

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:06.520
our exploration of motivation, purpose,

00:01:06.520 --> 00:01:08.760
and ways of influencing the world around us

00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:10.660
will be useful, whatever you choose to do.

00:01:10.660 --> 00:01:13.140
Whoever you are, life has its ups and downs,

00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:15.480
both personally and professionally,

00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.160
and our aim throughout our four weeks together

00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:20.160
is to motivate and inspire you,

00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:22.040
to look after your own wellbeing

00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:24.160
and the wellbeing of those around you,

00:01:24.160 --> 00:01:27.520
whilst trying to live life with a greater purpose

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:29.160
and make a difference.
