Introduction

The Thrive Programme is unlike any programme you have studied before. It’s a unique, evidence-based psychological training programme that will teach you everything you need to know to thrive. Those who are thriving have a joyful, positive, optimistic outlook on life – they’re robust, enthusiastic and resilient. They live an active, healthy lifestyle, are fun to be around and face the obstacles, hurdles and challenges of life with a ‘can do’ and ‘will do’ attitude. But here’s the thing – those who are thriving aren’t born this way. They learned to think, react and behave in a powerful, confident way. The Thrive Programme will teach you to do the same!
