- Ben Thomas is a PhD candidate in Clinical Psychology whose interests explore how art, philosophy and research can come together to deepen our understanding of mental health and human flourishing. He earned his B.A. (Honours) in Psychology from McGill University in 2022, completing two theses under Dr. Richard Koestner. His first, published in The Journal of Happiness Studies, examined the reliability of “good life coherence” — the extent to which people feel their lives align with their vision of a good life — and its connections to well-being. Beyond academia, Ben manages and co-creates the YouTube channel Sisyphus 55, which blends animation, film and existential reflection to make ideas from psychology and philosophy accessible to wider audiences. Animated by his brother, the channel has gained international attention for its creative approach to mental health. In recognition of this work, Ben was invited to speak at the Oxford Union on men’s well-being and the influence of digital media on modern identity.
