In this special episode of Being Human, we’re featuring a short talk by Dr. Eugene Tee, an emotions researcher, educator, and author. Originally delivered as a TEDx presentation aimed at Gen Z, this talk explores the power of character strengths – how recognising and cultivating the qualities within us can lead to a richer, more meaningful life.
