Welcome to the Positive Psychology Homepage! |
Positive psychology has grown since the late 1980’s to become a serious field of study, shifting the focus from mental illnesses and repairing damage to a psychology that focuses on cultivating an individual’s strength and constructive traits Positive emotions, therefore, are key elements in the development of a resilient psychological immune system based on optimism and self esteem. The goal of positive psychology is not only to overcome depression and negativity, but to ensure that every person has the tools to continue strengthening themselves in positive ways throughout their lives and be able to access happiness from within. “Attaining lasting happiness requires that we enjoy the journey on our way toward a destination we deem valuable. Happiness, therefore, is not about making it to the peak of the mountain, nor is it about climbing aimlessly around the mountain: happiness is the experience of climbing toward the peak” - Tal Ben-Shahar, PhD.
May all of our journeys be successful and full of joy. |
