Описание: Untranslatable words – terms without an exact equivalent in our own language – can expand our horizons and transform our lives. They have the potential to help us better understand and articulate our experiences, and can even reveal new phenomena which had previously been veiled to us. For the past three years I've been creating a crowd-sourced lexicography of untranslatable words relating to wellbeing (see www.drtimlomas.com/lexicography), which currently features nearly 1000 words. Collectively these words provide an illuminating and detailed map of wellbeing, one with the potential to open people up to new ways of seeing and being in the world. Dr. Tim Lomas has been a lecturer in positive psychology at the University of East London since 2013. Tim completed his PhD at the University of Westminster in 2012, where he focused on the impact of meditation on men's mental health. His current main area of research involves creating a lexicography of untranslatable words relating to wellbeing (www.drtimlomas.com/lexicography). Tim has published two books on the project in 2018, and it has also been featured in articles in prominent publications including TIME, The New Yorker, and Scientific American. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
