Can being kinder to others really bring benefits for our own personal mental health and wellbeing and for society as a whole?
This year’s Rosalind Franklin Lecture award-winning broadcaster and psychology lecturer Claudia Hammond set out a prescription for a kinder life we can all adapt and and use to help bring about a more tolerant society where rational thinking and kindness prevail. Farnham Humanists plan to screen and discuss Claudia’s March talk.
(Note if the unlikely event the recording of Claudia’s talk isn’t available in time Farnham Humanists may select a previous year’s lecture.)
Non-members £3. Members free. Drinks are available at the Pub

About the Humanists UK Rosalind Franklin Lecture series
Marking International Women’s Day, the Rosalind Franklin Lecture explores and celebrates the contribution of women towards the promotion and advancement of aspects of humanism in the UK and around the world. The Rosalind Franklin medallist has made a significant contribution in one of these fields.
The lecture and medal are named after Rosalind Franklin, humanist and scientist, whose contribution to science for many years went unacknowledged on account of her sex but who is today rightly celebrated.
