In today's episode of Flourishing Unfiltered, we speak with Prof Dr Corey Keyes!
In this episode, we sit down with Dr Corey Keyes, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Emory University, and possibly the foremost voices in the study of human flourishing and languishing. Corey takes us on a journey through his groundbreaking work, exploring how he carved out a new research area that has transformed our understanding of mental health and well-being.
During our conversation, Corey highlights the power of saying no to the things that don't nourish your soul, offering a reflection on the importance of asserting yourself in a world full of demands. He shares personal stories and professional insights into how we can actively seek out the things we need and create a robust support system to sustain our well-being.
Corey also talks about the concept of freeing ourselves from the chains and bonds that hold us back—whether they are self-imposed or societal. He passionately discusses the necessity of finding your own path to happiness, encouraging us not to wait for permission from others but to focus on what truly liberates our soul and helps us become more expansive in our lives.

Dr Corey Keyes is professor emeritus of Sociology at Emory University where he held the Winship Distinguished Research Professorship. He was a member of the prestigious international MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Successful Midlife Development and Aging. He has participated in several National Academies of Science initiatives – “The Future of Human Healthspan” and improving national statistics to measure recovery from mental illness.
He organized and co-hosted the first Summit of Positive Psychology held in 1999 at the Gallup Organization. His research introduced the concepts of social well-being, flourishing, the two continua model of mental health and illness, and his work is being used to prevent mental illness via the promotion of positive (flourishing) mental health. And Corey’s most recent book is titled “Languishing” in which he describes his own personal and scientific journey to create a scientific body of research to address two serious problems in himself and the world, one that wasn’t being addressed at all – languishing – in order to deal with another problem that was being addressed (mental illness) but continues to this day with little progress.
