Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener is the author of the new book, The Upside of Your Darkside: Why Being Your Whole Self--Not just your "good Self"--Drives Success and Fulfillment. Robert has published more than forty scholarly articles and has trained thousands of professionals on six continents. He is known as the “Indiana Jones of Positive Psychology” because he has conducted research with groups typically overlooked by psychologists, including Amish farmers, sex workers in Kolkata, Maasai tribes people and seal hunters in a remote corner of Greenland. He first took pen to hand when he attended the Interlochen Arts Academy as a creative writing major. He has leveraged his passion for narrative into a career as an author who can translate scientific jargon into plainspeak. Robert has written a number of books including Happiness: Unlocking the mysteries of psychological wealth and The Courage Quotient.
