About Positive Psychology
- Positive Psychology is the scientific study of how people can become happier and more fulfilled. It studies what makes life most worth living. Before this movement, mainstream psychology focused on the negative aspect of life and how to treat depressions, anxiety and stress.
- Positive Psychology was born because there was a need to study the positive aspects of life. The goal of practicing positive psychology is to build a science that supports people, children and families thriving at work and in school. Institutions and families must look at strengths instead of weaknesses to really make their children happy and motivated.
- Speakers in this category may talk about positive psychology in schools, families or at work and how to implement the methods and theories of the study, so you can start living a purposeful and fulfilled life.
