WHAT IS POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY?

What if you started each day with what's right with you? You could do what you enjoy and are best at most of the time, rather than focusing on your "opportunities for growth".  Positive psychology can help you do just that - guilt-free.

Rather than focus on what's wrong with people and how to fix it, positive psychology focuses on what's right with people and how can they build their lives around it. In other words, positive psychology is the scientific study of what makes life fulfilling.

Founded in 1998 by then President of the American Psychological Association Martin Seligman, the movement is based on empirical research. In recent years, substantial data back the claims that people who look on the bright side of life and build on their strengths are not only happier, but also more successful. They enjoy what they do, get promoted more often, are more likely to be happily married - and stay that way - and they live healthier and longer lives.

Research also indicates that by learning about happiness-enhancing interventions and how to use them in your life, you could be up to 40% more fulfilled.

How happy are you? That's probably one of the most serious questions you will ask yourself in your lifetime - and some will never gather the courage to face the answer. Will you?
