Professor Karen Pine

Founder

October 28th 2016
What was I doing before Do Something Different?

I was, and still am, an academic Professor of psychology. I have been in the academic world since finishing my PhD in 1997, lecturing and researching in psychology.  In former lives I have also run businesses, raised kids and worked in PR and advertising.

 

Why did I join?

I co-founded Do Something Different with Ben (Fletcher) and a bunch of the brightest, most positive, committed and caring people I have ever met. How could I not join in and take this exciting movement forward?

 

What do I do?

I create the content for Do Something Different programmes. Principally this involves translating what we know works –  in the field of cognitive, positive and neuro psychology – into small positive actions that can make a real difference to real people, helping them to be more behaviourally flexible so they can live happier and healthier lives. I also arrange the office flowers and hog the biscuit tin.

 

What do I most want to change in the world?

I want to create a resistance movement against the underlying forces in mainstream culture that insidiously push people towards unhealthy lifestyles, processed food, mediocrity, planet-destroying and unethical practices, consumerism and mindless telly.  Life can be so much better than that.

 

What do I most want to change about me?

I see myself as a work in progress, so it’s less about change (self-acceptance is also important) and more about growth. I want to continue to grow, to love myself and others, and to learn something new every day.

 

What am I doing differently?

At the moment I’m baking my own bread and practicing Kundalini yoga. Not at the same time.
