Purple Psychology
Summary: A podcast that ranges from Children to Adults. Personality to Psychology. Education to Development. Philosophy to a modern critique of society. Shortlisted in top 10 for the People's Choice Podcast Awards 2017 in Education. Since March 2018 - no presenter just Dr Naoisé O'Reilly downloading her brian. Recorded in short bite-sized segments. How to navigate the world with true understanding of your core self and others. "One aspect which creates misunderstanding in people about me but which makes me highly accessible to others is my lack of formality. I’ve never needed to hide behind my academic qualifications or speak in high academic prose. One reason I left academia was because of its lack of accessibility which I was a victim of because of my own profound dyslexia. All parents I meet feel intimidated by education. However, this doesn’t mean I have a simple way of seeing the world. And if I’ve created it for others it’s formed by endless research and methodology. I’ve spent my life focusing on how others need to receive communication. How each personality hears slightly differently. I’ve achieved what I set out to do when I started my own school 11 years ago after my doctorate in Physical Oceanography. Independent thought and critical thinking possible for everyone regardless of education status." Podcast disclaimer on Purple Psychology dot com.
