Join us for an evening that takes a closer look at why we sometimes think, feel, and behave in ways we don’t fully understand.
Professor Steve Peters will guide you through the neuroscience of the mind in a simplified way that can help you learn how to manage dysfunction and get the best out of yourself! This is an opportunity to gain practical insight into your mind directly from Prof Peters and take steps toward lasting emotional wellbeing.
We all have to manage our emotions, thoughts, and behaviours in everyday life. But it can feel like a real struggle — especially when we don’t fully understand how our own mind works or how to manage it effectively.
This talk will guide you through practical skills you can apply straight away in day-to-day situations — whether you’re navigating work stress, parenting challenges, leadership responsibilities, or simply trying to feel more in control after a difficult time.
This event is all about helping you understand your mind — whatever your role in life — so you can improve your overall quality of life.
Professor Steve Peters is a consultant psychiatrist who specialises in the functioning of the human mind.
He has worked in the clinical field of psychiatry for over 30 years. Steve has authored 4 books, including the bestselling self-help book of all time in the UK, The Chimp Paradox, which has sold 2 million copies.
He has been a consultant to over 20 Olympic and national sporting teams and individuals including Liverpool FC, British Cycling, GB Taekwondo, England Rugby, and England Football, Ronnie O’Sullivan, Victoria Pendleton and Sir Chris Hoy.
We’ll be meeting at Band on the Wall on Swan Street — a welcoming, fully accessible space between the Northern Quarter and New Cross. It’s simple to get to by public transport and there’s parking nearby after 6pm.
A hearing loop is available on request.
