Description
Summary:Positive psychology is the scientific study of what makes life most worth living ... what make's us happy, be satisfied or enables us to perform effectively at an optimal level. It compels us to march forward under the banner of strength, rather than dictate our lives by the avoidance of that which we perceive to be weakness or negative information. It calls on us to be as concerned with strength as with weakness; as interested in building the best things in life as in repairing the worst things in life. The value of positive psychology is to complement and extend the problem-focused psychology that has long dominated our thinking and behavior. It enables us to influence that! [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
