What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Discover the tools to identify healthy and toxic behaviours in all areas of life and separate the red flags from the green, from TikTok psychologist Dr Ali Fenwick @moderndaypsychologist


In an increasingly fast-paced world, equally fast decision-making skills are seen as a strength. When we are constantly presented with so many options to choose from, a quick and dirty decision doesn't always seem like a bad thing.

When it comes to things we don't like in friends, family, work, or relationships we are often fast to judge and label them as red flags.

What we don't realise, however, is that this mindset is causing us to lose our ability to manage difficult situations. Decisions taken in the heat of the moment can also prevent us from achieving a greater understanding of ourselves.

Professor of Organisational Behaviour and Innovation Dr Ali Fenwick is here to guide you through critical life situations, providing you with the knowledge to unpack the psychology behind each one and ultimately make the best and healthiest decisions about dating, relationships, friends, family, work, wellbeing, and success.

Red Flags, Green Flags is here to help you break this cycle of unhealthy behaviour by equipping you with the tools to identify the good and the bad signs in your life, show you what these signals say about people and, more importantly, what they say about you.
