About Positive Psychology

What is Positive Psychology?

Positive psychology is the scientific study of how individuals can thrive and lead more fulfilled lives. This branch of psychology aims to understand and promote happiness, wellbeing, and flourishing, rather than just treating mental illness.

In our volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world, this approach helps individuals and organizations adapt and flourish by building on strengths, fostering optimism, and cultivating fulfilling relationships.

By shifting the focus from what is wrong with people to what is right, Positive Psychology supports individuals in navigating life’s challenges while leading a more purposeful and satisfying life

Some areas of study of Positive Psychology:

understanding and measuring happiness
cultivating positive emotions, such as joy, gratitude, and optimism
developing positive relationships and the importance of social connections in our lives
building resilience and how individuals can bounce back from adversity
finding and engaging in activities that bring us a sense of meaning and purpose
comprehend the role of character strengths and virtues in enhancing our overall satisfaction with life.

"Happiness is not just a place, but also a process. Happiness is an ongoing process of fresh challenges, and it takes the right attitudes and activities to continue to be happy.”
